Good one Vermin

[Penfold]

Nice one Vermin, I love reading these.

What he said!

[Dotsie]

Hey, I once worked in telesales, for about a week! People say mean things, it's hard to stay upbeat you know. Would it be better if these people were unemployed, claiming benefits?

Yes. Because then they wouldn't be calling me.

[Catch-up]

Nice Alan!

Dotsie, I know how you feel. I used to be one of those "fragrance models" in a department store. Although, I refused to hold a perfume bottle. You might as well be pointing a gun the way some people would react! They were sure that I would spray them no matter what. I would just hand out the samples or cards with the fragrance on them if we didn't have samples.

[Penfold]

Time for a gentle *bump* methinks.

[Hvitveis]

I've just spent way too much time skimming through this thread, and what a finale! Although minus points for the general lack of high heel shoes... (with a couple of exceptions, although those were not very high either..)
