The truth is sometimes humerous.!!
A friend of mine was the Senior Sales Co-ordinator for a factory in Mid-wales which produced Rubber goods.( Babies Dummies, Swim Caps, Contraceptives, etc.)
One day he received an order from Russia for a supply of 18inch contraceptives and was complimented by the Managing Director for having broken into what had been a closed market to Western countries. However, because of the size of the contraceptives, my friend suggested to the MD that there had been an error with the order and it should be reading as 18cms.(approx7inches)
The MD disagreed on the basis that Russian Intelligence knew that his company was supplying markets in the USA and they were playing at International Politics in the hope that the Americans would think that perhaps Russians were superior to them, in all ways.(Space flights, Armaments etc.) The MD intimated that the goods would not go on sale in Russia but further orders would ensue. However, the MD, being aware that welsh folk are sometimes regarded as half-wits, issued the following instruction.:-
"Tool-up for 18inch, make sure all packaging is printed with a Welsh Dragon and is clearly endorsed...'Made in Wales, medium size'
