Reminds me of a job in Customs and Revenue as it was.Measuring the alcohol content in the vats at Mortlake brewery in order to assess duty.

I knew a young man in our local in Barnes High St who was the revenue man for Watneys and he was a total alcoholic, mad as a box of frogs, yet,highly intelligent all wrapped up in one parcel. I really don't think he just walked into that career.
