You’ll turn up at some schools for an interview and immediately regret it, hoping you get rejected. I’ve travelled back in time, landing in towns still in the throes of the 1980s recession. On bicycles, they’d move from school to school, legitimate to hedge, primers in hand. It’s a bit like Ripley’s Believe It or Not, you’ll never know for sure. If you feel like a US senator in front of a House select committee, you’ll know that your time is being wasted while they trial out experimental questions on you.
