        Had a couple of bobs come into the office while I was onsite at the client last week.

        I'm convinced they were performing some obscure Morecambe and Wise sketch only broadcast in India.

        One even had the glasses.

        Was entertaining in a 'nowt to do with me' way while the permies they were communicating with looked non-plussed to say the least.
        Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

          Not really surprising. Anyone not from this country would probably have a problem with 'fire away'.

          I'm valued in my workplace for chairing meetings where there are 2nd language English speakers attending, but trying to explain the Yorkie Bar adverts to Americans and Portuguese really tested my linguistic empathy...
