No, you f**king can't, if I wanted your help I'd have asked for it.
Especially in sports shops (not that I frequent them often) but you know when you need a pair of trainers...
"Can I help you"?
With what? looking at the array of overpriced branded trainers you are displaying? What sort of person needs help examining trainers.
Simples get them at ASDA when reduced, always buy 2 pairs then when they look tat, lob um and put t'others on.BWFC_Insane wrote:Aye this.as wrote:'Can I help you?'

That's another one we had to do. All customers should be greeted within 20 seconds of entering the store! I never used to do it. If someone looked lost, obviously I'd go and ask them, but I felt like a right knob going up to somebody who clearly knew what they were looking for and asking if I could help them. I'd forgotten how much I hated that job!

"No - no one can help me." Before launching into a depressed monologue about how your wife has left you, you've lost your job and so on.

If you're going to ASDA, might as well get them off the market!

followed by "... & I have no friends now as she's kept them all. .................. would YOU like to be my friend ??"
that should get you dealt with rapidly.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
"I understand you are a very good footballer" ... "I try".

Were you mercilessly mocked at school, when wearing your new shoes? As, during assembly, some kid would inevitably look at the back of them and notice the holes where the hook they had been hung on went, indicating they were "TBs"?thebish wrote:has itPrufrock wrote: If you're going to ASDA, might as well get them off the market!

ALL my shoes used to come from Tommy Balls.... disaster!
No? Oh well. I'll deal with it alone.

Small Print.
Not "the small print" but physically small print. I would say "my eyesight" but I'm not accepting falibility today, so I need something else to blame.
I looked on the BBC News site on my Blackberry last week as I cruised London's docklands and noticed a subject which I decided not to follow up. Though there was a mild interest it barely warranted the very slow loading time I was getting. It was about a theft if Paris. I assumed that someone had broken into a chateau and nicked some fireplaces.
Only the next day did I realise that it had said a thief had stolen 5 MASTERPIECES, not MANTLEPIECES !!
