"People are always a bit self-conscious, saying they're not quite sure whether they want the job," he says. -They wonder if we're going to them or if we've got hidden cameras. For example, I went to get my car MoT'd and they had me sitting in it, eight feet up on this ramp. The mechanic was going through the bit: asking me to sound the horn.
