Is there not any feelings of guilt from either of you?

And Nick, if they put the Receptionist as the first option nobody would bother waiting to hear any others.

The largest non governmental company in the world.
WOOOooooo! The Catholic Church!

If you are in Sales then you must be a Priest, or maybe a Bishop. worthy: worthy:

No I am not going to tell you but it wasn't Pinkertons or Wells Fargo (yes they are both still going as Security Companies) Nor was it Group 4 (washes mouth out with soap) Securicor or Reliance. Think BIG! 400,000 employees worldwide. 6,000 of them in London alone and only one ME!

Think of a major international company that was told by the Aussies and the Yanks that the name we used worldwide for a variety of businesses within the group was not considered suitable for the provision of security services. the name had been used in the UK since they had bought out the company I worked for. They grew to predominance by acquisition and when the Yanks and 'Strines said the name was not a good idea they changed it.
