From Hamish and Andy's radio show, the two call up some bloke and pretend to have put a random number down on their résumé as a reference and ask him to go along with if he gets called up by the potential employer. They then pretend to be the employer and ask about the candidate, whom he has actually never met.
It's an interesting situation and I'm not even sure what I would say. I guess one thing that might impact my view would be what the actual job is.
How do you think you would react and has anyone actually ever put a random number down, or even listed someone you may not even talk to anymore?
