    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      WHS. All you need is ability to take incriminating photos at social gatherings(to take an entirely random example)

        Any contractor worth his salt should have the latest gadgets, smart phones and expensive Italian styled shoes.

        Anything less then you're setting a bad example.

              I hope it is video as well. I have worked with a few companies that rotate the questions for each offshore bob interview as it is always assumed they have back up in the room and someone taking notes of the questions.
              Is their stock answer "I've done the needfull" ?

                I'm wearing Doc Martens. Lady Tester wears the expensive shoes at Tester Manor. Not Italian though, Vivienne Westwood.

                  Good one

                  Maybe he thought your Glaswegian accent was static on the line - It's an easy mistake to make.

                    Are you sure he was Indian? He might have been Welsh; they sound the same to me.
