Happy indeed John. It was all 'analogue' then. If in your judgement as an examiner somebody was obviously competent, the show could be called off and the person signed off. These days it's 'digital'. All the boxes have to be ticked. The professional opinion, often gut feeling doesn't count and the box requirements have to continue all the way to the end. All to do with backside tin plating to avoid litigation. A real shame in a way, I was a TRE in the old days, wouldn't like to do it now.
