‘Not so much a job offer. I got invited for an interview. I was 19 and naive. Went into the building and asked the receptionist where and what floor so and so was on, that I had an interview.

‘As I was walking to the elevator, a girl had turned around to chase after me after overhearing me.

‘She had just come down from seeing him and told me the guy was a full on blagger and it was clearly an MLM scheme and not to waste my time. Ended up not going up, sat with the girl outside for ages chatting and ended up in a relationship with her for 10 years. So silver linings and all that.’
