    Aha. Those things never seem to go out of fashion for some people.

    P.S. She sounds like a dumb ass, but if she was good looking she'll probably do ok.

    "I think it's pretty close by", I said. I looked around and Lo! there was a street sign saying "Albion Walk".
    "It must be very close", I said.
    "OK", she said, "But I still don't know where it is".

    Being a charming sort of person, I walked with her and found Albion Court after about 30 seconds.
    "Here we are", I said, turning to go.
    "Oh," she said, "I still don't know where it is".
    "You're here" I said.
    "No", she said, "I mean I don't know what company it is".
    "Nor do I", I replied, "Do you know any part of its name?"
    "No", she replied.
    "OK", I said, "then what sort of company is it?".
    "Dunno", she replied.
    "Do you mind my asking what what you want with the company?", I asked.
    "Interview", she replied.
    "Are you late, then?", I asked.
    "Dunno... think so", she replied, "It's very important that I get there on time".
    "Do you have a contact phone number for anyone with the company?", I asked, expecting the answer to be "No".
    "No", she answered.

    Our future is safe.

    So she's going for an 'interview' and the location is listed as the meeting of two roads; a corner.

    She's young and approached you? She's training to be a high class escort.
