Looks like they haven't changed much. Way back, mate of mine logged an application, got lots of green lights and an inside track. He happened to be in Leeds and was hotac'd on their doorstep. He thought he would say "hi" and request a progress check and since he was right there, make himself available for any further questions they might have. He got a very shifty response, was handed over to some chick in HR who kept calling him Duncan (not even close). He returned to his ME Base and never heard from them ever again. Twots. Deserve what they get !
