    They asked me when I was finishing for Christmas, so I told them next Friday.

    Then they asked what date I'd be back in the New Year and I pointed out that as my contract wasn't being renewed, I wouldn't be

      No expense has been spared, and it boasts a huge plasma screen, a very impressive camera, and high speed connectivity over IP via ClientCorp's worldwide network.

      Unfortunately the three team members in France hadn't managed to book a similarly-equipped room at their end (if there is one). We therefore finished up with them talking over Skype through the internal speakers of the PM's laptop while somebody else fiddled around trying to get a webcam working

          Where I come from the board room is the most important room in the office – whoever neglected to think that through should be spanked

            This wasn't the board room - just another meeting room, one of a couple of dozen, of which about half a dozen are similarly equipped. We're dead posh, us

              I’d probably fit in quite well then!
