Got a call of the above today, as luck had it we had visitors at the time, sister in law answered the door but I managed to get there before she found out who he was. Told him I had gone br and he was very pleasant about it all. Rang his office and was asked to speak to them, so I did. Got some right snotty oink who wanted all sorts of info, politely told him to go stuff himself, and gave him my OR `s details, told him to speak to her and hung up. The difference between him and the guy at the door was unbelievable.

    Unless I have got the wrong end of the stick, I think there may be a clue in dojoman's name. Perhaps he wears a particularly dark coloured belt signifying a high level of skill and competence in a particular art ;)
