Thanks GBO - It seems like a good idea to journal the call details in case we need to refer to it later. I guess I could ask NG to send me an email.
The extent to which he was 'protecting' me - just over this 2 minute phone call - was also a moment of truth about this chap's tendency to be less than truthful. GBO, you got it - he seems to be so scared of my reaction. Now, in my defence, I must say I'm not really that much of a shark - this definitely goes back to his childhood, and mum. This is not the first time he has projected his mum/sisters' habits on to me - the universal woman
