The years have flown somehow

"Now that management group's looking at current vacancies in the service in their meetings we're doing pretty well at filling them in a timely manner," says Warner Baxter.

Out of sheer devilment I leave aside the question of Jimmy Huddersfield's old post (shrouded as that is in more than a years' worth of obfuscation) and ask:

"Does that include the van driver's post?"

"The van driver's post?" asks Warner.

"Yes, he retired in 1999."

It's obvious that this is news to Warner.
