Identical handymen

Reviewed an application from a pair of identical twins today. Fascinating. They were applying as a unit. Everything on their (one) application form applied to both of them (except, obviously, their first names; plus one small element of their employment history).

Unfortunately, they were applying for central London and didn't have bike licences. Plus nearly all our work is solo work and I did get the distinct impression they were at their best when working together.

But they'd do well if they set up on their own. Assuming they are good, everyone who used them would talk about it to their friends.

  1. Dear Bruce,
    I'm writing a book about twins and would love to try to interview the twins who applied as a unit for your job. I'm in New York City and my email is shapog@aol.com. Would you mind passing it on to them? I would be grateful. I enjoyed your site, Abby Pogrebin

  2. They would make good muggers. As long as they worked separately the vicims would never be able to identify the assailant with certainty.

    This reminds me of a fun music challenge I've been playing lately - Heardle! It's such a blast trying to guess the song from just that first little snippet, and it really tests your recognition skills. Thinking about these twin handymen working in sync makes me wonder if they'd have a secret twin language for their tools, too! It's sweet to imagine them as a dynamic duo.
