is grab the phone and clarify.


And just who do they phone? And when?



They phone the help desk in Delhi of course


But because the people who parrot the information don't actually
understand it, they don't notice how potentially confusing or
misleading it can be.

And it all gives an insight into how meticulous and trustworthy these
folks will be in their other reporting.
