Y-Man: "Blokes" indeed. You've PC'd it. A bit like the one about the "bloke" who was ironing the curtains - he fell out of the window.

@Phil Do they have a branch near you?
If not, ring them, but it will have to be a trunk call (and it's not a privet number). I wouldn't hedge your bets, but I think they'll get to the root of it.

Have you twigged to it, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Leaves almost nothing else to be said, except:

Two blokes were looking for a job. A company was looking for tree fellers, but they were only two, so they didn't bother to apply.
