Despite being on the other side of the world from my registered home address, I decided to enter myself in Egg’s prize draw by completing their latest customer survey — if I do win the twelve bottles of wine, I’m sure they’ll keep until I’m back in the country.

Along with the usual questions along the lines of “Egg provides fantastic service — agree/disagree” etc., was this gem:

I would like to know the people that work for Egg socially,

to which the possible responses were “yes” and “no”. It was this question that I hesitated the longest with — if I chose “yes”, would that not imply that I’m quite a lonely chap who would love nothing more than to go out for beers with the hoopy froods from Investments? On the other hand, if I answered “no”, would I have immediately been subjected to a series of emails from disgruntled employees, demanding to know precisely what my problem with them was? Or worse, years from now, would I be getting on famously with an attractive woman at a party, ignorant of the fact that she worked for Egg until I revealed my name and she threw her drink in my face and stormed off muttering, “Wasn’t good enough for him back then, probably not gonna be now…”?
