Has anyone seen this video? He was in the BBC for an interview for a cleaningg job and accidentally got brought into the studio in the place of the expert who is named. The look on his face is priceless when he hears what's going on.

The link is at the bottom of the page. I think the bit that says he's a taxi driver is wrong. As far as I know he was there for a cleaning job.

I was thinking, he was probably no less illuminating than the real expert would have been. Apart from his initial reaction he just waffled like they usually do.

He was there for a data cleaning job!

the guy is actually an accountant, and was going for a financial job. May well ahev involved date cleaning, but not the mop and bucket variety.

As if the BBC would hire cleaners directly and go to the effort of interviewing each of them individually...! And them turning up in suit jackets... :o
