          Perhaps the market is flooded with people who can change tapes?

            Unfortunately for them, changing a tape doesn't necessarily mean it'll change the tune.

            I'm good at multi-tasking, I've got an eight-track mind.
            Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

                Yeah, if only everything was in proportion. I suppose I have something in common with Jeremy Beadle after all.

                    I bet it's Cliff Richard. Poor sucker that buys that car.

                      just been asked about lowering my rate

                      anyone else had this recently
                      I was asked in 2001 to take a 50% cut or walk. I walked and spent 18 months on the bench. Most of the blokes that took the cut are still there now.

                      I'm now back up to earning 87% of what I was on when I walked.

                      Perhaps they want shot of you because your English is so bad?
