Well, their loose mouths, could have cost them their jobs

senior management - she ended up getting a much more amenable deal than the four amigos had been sent to achieve. The fact that I didn't like the company concerned, made this even sweeter, but it was a salutary lesson, not to discuss confidential matters in public - never know who's listening 😉

until they were asked had they travelled down on the 19:00hrs train, in the seats that I had told her about. They looked at her gobsmacked - then she revealed that a loyal former employee, had rung her, & shared what they had been saying about the company - would they like for her to contact their

I asked her by any chance, was she due to meet some people from "X" company in the morning - She asked how the bleep did I know that, shared with her, what had been said by the four, which was very beneficial to her, as she was ready for them. The four blokes entered the meeting rather gung ho,
