I have actually had clients ask me if I drive and what car I have but I always talk about my car before that. Really pisses me off when guys ask me personal questions bet they wouldn't be so keen to answer their own question.

With regards to clients asking my real name ect what response do you normally give because I just seen to get tongue tied and paranoid about the situ.

I've always assumed it's because insurance companies share information and that it's therefore probably relatively easy for any insurance company to access the car insurance details of everyone and pick up the various insurance expiry dates.  Also, a lot of us probably shop around for insurance when it's due and therefore distribute our details to lots of companies.

And there are some who can't be arsed to, like me. Yet every year I get different insurance groups dropping me a line telling me they can do better. Sure insurance groups share info, but the DVLA sells your info at a price. What makes more sense, going from insurance co. to insurance co. for a handful of details, or getting their hands on something as invaluable as the DVLA's database that holds every car driver's personal details for a fee.

But still; I can imagine the caution. I never really took that into consideration. And it would SUCK if one of her 'clients' took off with the key card, and came back while she was gone and ransacked the place. Excuse my paranoia LOL

That's easy enough. Report the stolen card immediately to the front desk and ask for it to be cancelled so it becomes invalid.

Can I nick this idea if the situation ever presents itself 

Absolutely. And if management asks why didn't you book a conference room, tell them that it was too costly and it was more cost-effective for you to conduct your interviews in your room one-on-one. Carry one of those leather folders with you containing some official-looking documents, just for that extra touch.

Brandy's my old working name. The other name I use I've had for the past 3 and a half years. If they don't want to call me that, I tell them I also answer to Brandy. If they push, I say that Brandy's all they need to be getting on with for now. I tell them it's either that or I'll lie to them and give them another fake name, take their pick. Why they feel I should give them my real name I don't know.

excellent...I have one of these bags that I found awhile back...

Those are gorgeous. I want one. But not at that price *choke*.

LOL, me either...I had actually found it last year lying beside a railroad track. I dont know how it got there, but when I tossed it in my car the aroma of genuine leather was so strong that I knew it was worth keeping.

Oh, no you might have destroyed vital evidence of a murder most foul!!!

Kidding! 

Laurence Fishburn can solve most things for me! YUMMY! The gray at the temples.
