Head-hunters: Portakabins down at the Wharf

I got a phone call from a head-hunter mucker on Tuesday, who was understandably extremely busy. “What you up to then?” I asked.

“I’m just about to plug the Portakabin I’ve had put up outside Lehman’s into the electricity supply,” he replied. And for a moment he had me going. Of course, there have been mutterings about how the recruitment industry swooped like vultures on to a corpse, but that is doing it a big disservice.
