Bigtomfu I am a recruiter and if you want any tips, tricks etc, then feel free to PM me, happy to help a fellow NSC member.
I would respond "115 degrees", then poke him in the eye.
I wanted to highlight this one. Find out if they've won any industry awards - look into what they have to do to win them. Look at the company data at Companies House ( it's free ). You can often work out some structure from the data. See what else the registered directors have done ( LinkedIn is a good start ). Look for stories in the press and ask about them - good or bad.
To give you an example of the last point I've made - the company I previously worked for had a director awaiting trial for Bribery and Corruption while I was interviewing for a new role. I interviewed about six candidates and only one mentioned this. She found it in the news and asked sensible questions about how it was affecting the company, what plans were in place if he was convicted ( he was ! ) etc. She got the job because she not only had the skills needed but had shown some in depth research and thinking into the company.
Finally, remember an interview is a two way thing - they are interviewing you BUT you are also interviewing them. Ask questions - make it two way.
ADDITION - a good last question from you when asked is "Is there anything that gives reservations that I'm suitable for the role" - it gives you a chance to put to bed any of their concerns.
I would say" It's 110 degrees . Gissa job".
245 degrees also (external angle)
Do people still get suited and booted nowadays for interviews? I've seen people turn up for interviews where I work now in smart casual dress. The company I am interviewing for have a casual dress code and I don't want to look a pillock turning up in a suit and tie.

Turn up smart - no jeans - but no need for a tie. If it's a customer facing role you want to make sure you're very presentable. When I interview I don't tend to worry about WHAT the applicant is wearing more that they look clean, groomed and not scruffy.
I'm the opposite. I want to see the candidate at their best when I interview and would never even consider anyone who didn't come to an interview with shirt and tie.
I interview Lawyers and Accountants but even if I was interviewing non professionals I would expect a suit and tie.
i guess it might depend on the industry. I interview for it roles and it dumped ties a decade ago. I haven't worn a tie to an interview for even longer. In fact i hate ties - useless bits of material originally designed for men that couldn't eat properly. I don't feel comfortable or confident wearing a tie.
