In fairness I would imagine that would apply to most people and, definitely, all gammons
I have toyed with the idea of challenging blinkered unfortunates. The mind like the body is only as good as its nourishment. Spending all day masticating petty concerns and opinions is a foul diet that produces shit emotions and actions. Better to create a rich and interesting inner world - The gammon however has no interest of course, they eat their Daily Mail breakfast, discontentment for lunch and wash it all down with budget blame and gone off regrets - Curious folk the Gammon, they don’t seem to have grasped reaping and sowing

Hah, met new client today who during the small talk at the end of the meeting, when I asked him what he likes to do to unwind, said that he enjoyed listening to records and had just got his own room 
.
Obviously I avoided asking specific questions about his kit in case of Linn/ Naim reasons…

Some of them have been but the current one isn’t. However, my then-boss who interviewed me turned out to be a hi-fi fan, too and we spent longer talking about speakers than we did on the minutiae of the job i was applying for!
I was speaking at a conference a few weeks ago and the chair of the session asked for some off beat things about me; I mentioned that I had spent a shed load of money on trying to get the perfect sound but had recently given up on that pointless quest (lie of course).
Needless to say, he didn’t use it.
I just write ‘vinyl’ on mine

the shoes are of highest standards, and need no mention. Now pussy that’s a different thing.
Me neither (except after the event once, for paperwork reasons). I generally got hired because the people who needed to fill the post already knew me. The only benefit of being almost comically specialist.

If you want to ferret out the audiophile interviewers write “vinyls”
