AD – you know the lead singer of the Bangles? Me – uh huh… AD – I’d like to make her walk like an Egyptian… I have no idea what he meant. But I’ve been giggling all day. I didn’t surf today. But I will tomorrow.

Lesson 2 – not getting sacked on day one. Beautifully draped in your newly aquired building attire the first hurdle is to categorise yourself in a particular trade. Options include:- Chippy.
