CANDIDATE #1:                    Ehh . . . ummm . . . wait, I know this . . . is it . . . is it . . . is it Rome?

MR PEACOCK:                      (LOUDLY) No it is not! Go and sit at the back of the class with the other pathetic failures.

                                                Okay you – what is eleven multiplied by twelve?

CANDIDATE #2:                    Oh, not fair, maths isn’t my strong subject  . . .

MR PEACOCK:                      (LOUDLY) Come on – I need your answer.

CANDIDATE #2:                    Is it one-hundred-and-twenty-one . . . no wait one-hundred-and-thirty-six . . . am I warm?

MR PEACOCK:                      (LOUDLY) Pathetic – quite pathetic. Go and sit at the back.
