[UK-CONTEST] Morse Dyslexia

[Laurence Mason]

I had a hearing test for a BBC job when I graduated. The trouble was 
there was someone in the room next door using a hammer drill - which the 
lady executing the test apologised for and the test was performed in the 
quiet moments between holes being drilled.

However what I did not tell her was that I could hear her leather soled 
shoes hitting the foot switch every time she sent a tone. It became a 
question of trying to decide which tones I was actually meant to hear 
rather than those that I knew she had sent. After a time there was one 
where I said that I thought I might be able to hear a tone but was not 
really sure and she admitted that my hearing was very good (genuinely) 
and that she had tried the machine a zero o/p to see if I could hear it.

I passed the test but  for better or worse I turned down the BBC...
