Civil Servant..I`d like to help you but the information you are seeking is not available to people of my pay grade, and if I could find out for you, it would literally take for ever, you are in the wrong department but I don`t know which department you need, look, I`ll refer you to Mr Smith
I`ve just come from him, he referred me to you
Oh , well, in that case, you are going to have some difficulty, goodbye !
