Things are different in the UK from the US - you guys still use weird paper sizes, like foolscap, 11x17 (hell - you even still use inches) so I can't comment on that. But, always work on the greengrocer principle of keeping all your best, shiniest, least blemished, plumpest, juiciest fruit at the front of the stall.

IOW get all the interesting/apposite/impressive/stand-out/"juicy"/shiniest/plumpest/least blemished/ ... best info on the front sheet.

Leave all the stuff about your enjoying petit-point, yoga and nude modelling in your spare time to the back page; if they're interested in your front page the back page might get read, so they can see you're a well-rounded chap.

The other stuff I already told you about ages ago.

Voila
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
