Telecom are a big company. They have clout. They are big and therefore
trustworthy. They are not some dodgy fly-by-night dealer on the back
streets. They would only deal with reputable companies.

At least that's what grandma would say and no doubt the rest of the thicko
world would say too.

Hello XPD,

> earlier today and he said he'd been really slack at updating the site

hmmm... really...

can we possibly have the name of the company he works for, or at least his
name if he is 'self employed' - that is so we all know to avoid him / them
in any future developments ...

'manually updating a website' .... for a large company with shytloads of
warez (only ones on that crappy site atm) doing manual updates is just plain
stupid.

does he charge through the nose per hour to hammer the details through to
the website ?
