PMF worked in comms for an upmarket fish restaurant, so I was surprised to find him smartly dressed in an all-white waiter’s unform and serving seated customers one day when I visited him in the office. ‘They must be rather short-staffed’ I concluded.

It turned out that I was right. As well as PMF, the restaurant had taken on several of his relations as staff, as well as my own mother-in-law. It was even rumoured that my geriatric online friend GG was next in line to be approached with a job offer.
