VACANCY
Jakartass is nominally a warden for the British expatriate community in my district. I say nominally because the duties have been minimal to match the information flow from the Consulate. If someone takes the job advertised below, which came by email today, then perhaps there will something for me to do.
Perhaps too, s/he could take down the
travel advisory offered by the Jakarta embassy three years ago.
I've already told you and H.M. No.2 about it, although he denied its existence.
Amidst the occasional
travel advisories we Brits keep a stiff upper lip, submit to the varying degrees of security searches and get on with our lives. Still, it would be nice to have more than the occasional invitations to Queen Bess' Birthday Bash and the annual Xmas Carol sing-a-long at the Ambassador's
pied á terre.
