BBC John

A colleague on a training course here in Bulgaria. Mid-fifties and British, he looked a lot like Nigel Farage, a former schoolmate of his. He was one of those businesspeople who only talk to you if they think you might be useful - every social event is a networking opportunity, every conversation has an agenda. He used to be a BBC radio presenter and his diction and voice reflected that: ‘I am speaking now, listen to me speaking, hear how important I am.’ His default attitude assumed British superiority and that everyone in the world wanted to be like us.
