    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 . .
    . ” Nash says."

    *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
    weasels is enough in any career.

    I wonder if that's what Nash actually said. Do newspapers correct interviewees' bad grammar?
