Not quite on topic, but not quite off ...
 
In the next academic year, the University of Loughborough is intending to run 
what it describes as the world's first degree level course in used car dealing.
 
The mind boggles at what such a course might contain.  How to wind back 
odometers?  How many pantyhose to stuff into each make of high-mileage gearbox?
 
I've written off to ask for a prospectus for the course.
