April Fools Day joke?
Today's Sydney Morning Herald has a story on the drivers of Yum Cha trolleys in the big Chinese restaurants in the city will have to wear L plates on the front of their trolleys for 6 months.
According to the Herald, this decision follows a spate of accidents caused by inexperienced trolleys drivers. One such incident involved a trolley full of beef and black bean sauce falling all over some poor bugger because the trolley driver was texting someone on her phone.
"It's either young, inexperienced students who take these jobs or someone just off the boat. In either case, they need to be properly trained." explains Sydney's newly elected council.
"After completing the course, they will be required to carry a small "L" plate on their carts for six months before being granted full licences. Learners can only push a cart while accompanied by fully licensed waiting staff."
Surely this is an April Fool's Day joke??!!
