Nice profile!
Now, if the Times sub-editors could only learn a little bit of grammar...
"B&Q made us. Without them it would of taken much longer and who knows . .

*Would have* is correct form. No wonder I can never complete the Times crossword if thats the
quality of the grammar! (any excuse...<g>)

No, I worked ont he application they are profiling in the article, not on the Times website. I don't
think I would want to work for Murdoch. I worked for Tyco at one point - one period as a minion of
