The Dogs And The Bones

It's the most terrifying, awful place I've ever seen, and it's the size of the National Exhibition Centre, for Christ's sake. It's madness. Any sane person working there would pray daily for a massacre. As the gunmen burst in, firing indiscriminately, the first genuine smile in six months would spread wide across your face, and you'd leap, giggling, into the line of fire.

And just when you think things can't get any more tearjerking, we're introduced to Mandisa, a black single mum in South Africa, who hopes her new call centre job should make ends meet. Thing is, it's for a UK firm, so first she has to attend an "Accent Reduction" course, which knocks all the fun out of her voice, so she won't frighten the horses.

And what relevance the picture? None at all. No relevance at all.
