Posted in uk.rec.model.rail as amusing, a reference to "Job adverts" for trainspotters, taking a dig at their nerdy antisocial characteristics...

"The successful candidate... will have thick glasses, a facial tick and Aspergers Syndrome.."

But then I have thick glasses, Asperger's syndrome, and read uk.rec.models.rail, as well as having a garden full of trains.

Are the clichés too nearly true?
(I don't quite qualify for any of the jobs as I'm not a dedicated "Spotter" and I don't live with my mum.)
