Exams
Yesterday I was supervising a business law exam. One of the questions was really interesting. They were given a set of work rules from 1830. It was interesting reading: Things like providing their own quills, answering the call of nature at the fence at the bottom of the garden, Eating lunch between eleven thirty and midday but continuing to work at the same time, there were also rules about dress, conduct and prayers, They worked from seven till seven six days a week! The question was which laws have changed conditions since then, when they were applied etc. etc. They spent a long time on that one.
