You're an economics and business studies graduate seeking work at one of Britain's best known corporations, the BBC. You put in an application for Data Support Cleanser and you get an interview. The big day arrives, and donning a smart suit, you turn up at the BBC and wait in reception.A man appears and quickly escorts you to the interview which is being held, rather suprisingly, in a studio. Not quite sure why they're interviewing you here, rather than an office, you play along - perhaps this is the BBC way? And just as a presenter introduces you as an editor of an IT magazine, it hits you.... all too late.

LMAO! I posted about this too! Definately one for the blooper tape.
Yes I came across this yesterday and it's brilliant. I love the taxi driver's face when he notices what's gone wrong.
I checked out the blog of the real Guy (available on his website newswireless.net) and he seems much more concerned that the cabbie was black rather than anything else. Odd man.
When I need my computer fixing, I'm ringing a cabbie.
"Wodge"?!?!?!??!?
How an a BBC researcher doing a piece on IT wouldn't know what Guy Kewney looks like is beyond me.... it's the equivalent of an interview with Tony Blair ending up with an italian hairdresser called Toni.
That's what his blog is about.. he's clearly more than slightly annoyed (understatement!) about it in his first piece.. although it was the wrong thing to write - he should have thought about it rather than just writing what was on his mind first.
Yes! Thats me! Wodge!

Arf!
Seems it is compulsory for every blog to run the "Wrong Guy" story this week.
Sad he didn't get the job...
