Seven: You hear a man talking on the radio about
parachuting. How did he feel during his jump?

F
Yes, he was the best bit of it all. He’s really talented,
isn’t he!

M Good morning, listeners. What annoys you about the
people you work with? Is it the way they suck up to
the boss? Or the way they get other people to do
things that they should be doing? Today we’re going
to be talking about how people feel about their
colleagues with Ann Gates, who is head of human
resources at Redcom, a large international
