"It was," Jordan told us, "a great gig for us as the company was small with nice people but, well, not very switched on."

Both Jordan and Tim had lengthy commutes to the office, with long hours resulting in one or two overnight stays.

Jordan had managed to avoid any involvement due to, as Tim put it, "having shoulders like a Coke bottle".
