ha ha ha. Ok, here goes. I am the operations manager in the UK for a medical transcription company. What we do is take dictations by doctors in hospitals and type them. this allows the doctor's secretary to use that time for other things, and gets the letters out back to the GP quickly. We have a large operation in Bangalore where most of our staff are employed (under UK terms and conditions). So before anyone thinks otherwise, we are not a sweat shop, quite the reverse. Half of my role is to develop the IT systems that we use to get the audio to india, and the text back into the electronic medical records in the hospitals. I come to India once a year to meet with our staff, help with the technology here and work on new ideas and development in the company. And drink beer with the staff as well! This stops the company splitting into an "us and them" mentality. Working in 2 very different continents with different cultures has a lot of challenges, so this time together is very important. www.scribetech.co.ukJust to give you an idea about the price differences, that first hotel I stayed in was 9000 rupees / night, that's £90 ----- OR ----- You could just imagine my sneaking about in a black poloneck jumper putting boxes of chocolates in ladies bedrooms. Pick one of the 2  |

When I lived in Guildford, there was an Enfield dealership in the next village. It was actually a small shop jointly owned by a husband & wife. She sold flowers & ornaments, he sold motorcycles.
That's a great cover story for an International Monkey of Mystery Andy.
