In the last few years I was nominated to attend a number networking meetings on behalf of the firm. Overall it was enjoyable with a full English to be eaten whilst presentations took place.

What used to make me laugh was how some introduced themselves

There were a lot of “Consultants” promoting how they could improve your business despite it being fairly obvious that they could not improve their own. When asked what they did the response was invariably something along the lines of “facilitating others to achieve blah blah blah.....”

One chap had “Head of Inspiration” on his business card.

Sadly it didn’t work and he went to work for a big firm.

The only nickname i have had was "seven". In the sixties, John Barry 7.
Thought of another one.

Update,no broadband expert yesterday,had a phone call saying he was double booked.
2 engineers called today,checked outside house speed 50,inside house 10.
They decided to renew in house cabling, now got a reading of 45.
Happy with that. Also left their phone numbers if any more problem.
Very pleased with their approach to problem, they were here for 2.1/2 hrs maybe because of the tea and home made apple tart.

Excellent.

Out of interest, when you say house cabling, is that cabling from the outside, through your walls, to the white master socket or on the house side of the master socket?

Thanks.

I once had a role with the title Location Manager for some 30 telephone exchanges. I was not a manager but did a bit of security checking and environmental checking.
Reported building faults as required. Great role until the management mucked it up, then I began to hate the role. Was relived when I was moved to another role. Mind you as I did not get overtime but time off in Lou I got to watch every football match my children played in while at school

Talking about watching children. I used to take my son to under 7 rugby training.
One session was carried out in heavy snow and freezing conditions. When it finished he said to me,"look dad i'm the only one not crying."
