Title: BBC interview cabbie by mistake.
Post by: Doobrey on May 15, 2006, 07:58:19 PM
This interview went out live, the taxi driver was sitting in reception waiting to pickup his fare when he got mistaken for the 'internet expert' they'd booked to comment on the Apple vs Apple court case and just goes along with it  :lol:

Priceless!

The way he's about to 'fess up, doesn't get his chance and then decides to roll with it - top class.

I'm surprised the presenter didn't rumble him though. He was talking absolute mince.

Thanks for posting that, its great to have something brighten up my day after hearing I didn't get the job I went for. I have laughed like that in a while. Full kudos to the cabbie for managing to keep his cool as well!

Turns out he wasn't a cabbie but someone else looking for a job:

Guy Goma, a graduate from the Congo, appeared on the news channel in place of an IT expert after a mix-up.

But Mr Goma, who was wrongly identified in the press as a taxi driver, was really at the BBC for a job interview.

Mr Goma said his appearance was "very stressful" and wondered why the questions were not related to the data support cleanser job he applied for.

Guess that explains why how it got so far before he realised it was the wrong sort of interview.
 Oh well, maybe they'll have a cleaner presenting Newsnight later on..
