Quick fire exercise. The candidate is told that something has occurred but not given further details. In under five minutes the candidate must convince the interviewer that it is a terrible thing, would not have occurred in their day and is a sure sign that society is going to hell. Extra points are gained for blaming random celebrities, politicians in general or them.
Nervous shuffling practice (male candidates only). You are in a men's toilet with the cubicles (which you need to use) all occupied or in a women's clothing store as your partner tries on dresses. You must be able to assume an expression of extreme guilt and shuffle restlessly from foot to foot while looking at your watch repeatedly.
Cognitive dissonance test. The interviewer will give you the names of two towns in mainland britain. You must then describe a terrible congested car journey between them naming all the roads. You must describe the nature of the traffic jam you were in and your frustration. Bonus points for saying "something should be done, it's a disgrace". You must then immediately follow this by railing passionately against high petrol prices and/or road pricing. Extra marks will be given for the candidate who can get the interviewer to pass out through sheer boredom during the listing of road names.
