ReplyDeleteYes, I've tried working with them. Not a productive experience.
Proof that no-one really listens even to themselves..!
ReplyDeleteAKH, sometimes I think something of the sort is written up over the staff door of every bank, office and shop I deal with.
ReplyDeleteJulia, Apprentice candidates seem more prone to this sort of gaffe than most; charitably, I'd put it down to sleep deprivation and the pressures of filming.
Uncharitably, I'd suggest that that anyone who puts himself forward for what the Urchin calls 'Theatre of Cruelty TV' these days has probably never listened to himself - or the voice of reason - at all.
Even more than doing the same thing again, we go back to the well. Human beings!
