I used to work for a regional director who wanted everybody's sales performance to be above average. Maybe he went to St Paul's too, or did history rather than maths at Oxford.
So he preferred arts to science and never had a proper job, having gone from folding towels at Selfridges to working at Conservative central office. Most of us are probably better qualified to be Chancellor, or might be if we had the Bullingdon Club on our CVs.
You couldn't make it up.
