There was always a chance that she knew something I didn't ;-)<br />I love being right though.

It's rarely true. It's surprising how little the customer actually does know"<br /><br />Having spent 20 odd years knocking on peoples doors as a maintenance engineer I can agree with that! However, occasionally the customer may know more than you, and at that point the sensible person will admit that he may not be the fountain of all knowledge. Otherwise it's very easy do dig a bloody great hole for yourself, and nigh on impossible to climb out of it afterwards.....<br /><br />I often got sent round as a last resort, and the most difficult part was regaining their confidence, when previous "colleagues" had spun a line of bullshit!microdavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232613925790974435.post-51211541708076494082010-12-04T21:16:55.389+00:002010-12-04T21:16:55.389+00:00You're right about the perry.

Pear cider has only recently become popular.<br /><br />Under the last licencing laws, perry was quoted as one of the drinks, 16-17 year old could have with a meal, even though no one ever sees it anymore. Similarly, shove-hapenny as one of the game you can play in pubs :-)<br /><br />Peariz?

If you want to be really picky, Perry and Pear cider are made from different pears. It's now become trendy I believe ;)<br /><br />Having worked an a bar many years ago, these stories ring all too true.Longriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139120804208136012noreply@blogger.com
