...they can be odd things, references.
I was once sent a "proforma" request (from Cable and Wireless ISTR) to provide a reference for someone who had recently worked for me.
Geoff deserved a decent reference, but I swear the proforma format invited responses on only two matters, namely timeliness and tidiness, with a (very) small box on the bottom for any further comment.
It wasn't missing pages, as there was space for the date and my signature/details at the bottom.
I really did feel like adding "he is a paragon of timekeeping, and a picture of sartorial elegance..................but his work is cr*p"
I rather thought that the irony might be missed, and it would play against him, so I didn't.
