I went into Argos to buy a watch. It was in the sale having being reduced from £39.99 to £19.99. I asked the girl assistant was it a digital. She said I dont know what digital is . I said is it a wind up. She said I do not know, so I will go and find out Ten minutes later she came back and said it is definately not a wind up. it really is £19.99
I once had to ring a supplier whose drives had done something unbelievably stupid. I said "Have you got Frank Spencer working for you this morning" to which the receptionist said "Hang on a minute, I'll just check"
