    Kinda off subject but I had an interview for my now employers a year ago, clients are mainly architects etc so I turned up smart; trousers, shoes and shirt (no tie), naturally I thought I'd make an effort as I really wanted the role, turns out it counted against me as I was 'too' smart. It's a funny old game.
