"Are there many black people where you work, dear?"

If you haven't see it, it's a comedy drama by the makers of Shameless. A group of different disabled people
are sent to an island in a reality show. There's
a fantastic quote about actors playing disabled peeps in movies,
summerised by the phrase, 'Spacking up is the new blacking up.':D
What I love about it is they use disabled actors and some who weren't but were trained up.

that was very much like my first office. Pre computers huge dusty ledgers and my evil boss hovering over my desk each time he had an individual thing to file which quite frankly would have been quicker for him to file the filing room being much closer to his office than my workstation which was in another room.
I suggested once that he keeps all the things he wanted filing in one place in his office so I could file them all in one go towards the end of the day. To this day I am convinced he believed I was talking in Martian or something.

Really old, and hailing from South Yorkshire. Will that do?

Sorry for suggesting that you might come from Aberdeenshire; it's a pretty terrible thing to say about a person.
