Nah mate. No Aussie above the age of three says “poo’”. We say “shit”. But, yes, that is what I meant.
Not sure if this can be called segue. A teaching from my studies in Human Resource Management has just popped into my head . “The Peter Principle”. The idea is that in bureaucracies especially, everyone rises to his level of incompetence. I found this generally true, except for women who still have to contend with the glass ceiling.
Me? I stayed one level below that where I would be incompetent. Of course that was not intentional. Didn’t actually realise that fact until after I had retired.

Trivia: The term ‘bureaucracy’ was a not initially coined for government organisations. It was coined to describe large private sector organisations. EG My dad worked for BP for over 42 years. He was an overworked and underpaid executive. Over the years Iearned a lot about that company. It was indeed a bureaucratic organisation.
