Dinosaur Wrote:Have had a good rant on here before about this, it's been noticeable and much discussed for years that a ridiculously small percentage of diggers seem to have learnt to drive - it regularly results in significant operational difficulties around here if there are a lot of small jobs on, and means that often we've had to give work to people purely because they could drive rather than that they were the best people for the job.
As there is a 'ridiculously small percentage of diggers who have learnt to drive', I wonder why archaeological employers don't treat this as a training requirement and pay staff who are willing to learn, something towards the cost of lessons. Seems to me it would be a sound investment...
