A Young Glasgow lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job.
\'Do you have any sales experience?\' asked the manager. \'Oh Aye; uff
dunnabitta sales stuff back up eh road anat, ah\'eh barras anat,
know?\', nodded the young weegie. The manager liked the lad, so he gave
him the job.
The young Scot\'s first day was challenging and busy, but he got
through it.
After the store was locked up, the manager came down to see how he was
settling in. \'So... how many sales did you make today\'? He smiled at
the boy. The weegie said: \'Jist the wan\'. The manager was immediately
disappointed. \'Wh-a-a-t? Just one? Harrods\'s sales people average 20
or 30 sales a day! Dear me! Oh well, how much was the sale for, anyway\'?
\'£101,237.64\' said the lad. The Harrods manager choked. \'Blimey... One
hundred and one thousand, two hundred and thirty-seven pounds and
sixty four pence!
What in hell did you sell him?\' \'Well, first ah selt him a wee fish
hook, then a medium fish hook, and then ah selt him a new fishing rod.
Then ah asked
him where he was gawin\' fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I
telt him he would need a boat. We went down to the boat department and
I selt him that twin-engined Power Cat... then he said he didn\'t think
his wee Honda Civic could pull it, so I took him down to car sales and
I selt him a dinky
4x4 Suzuki...\'. The manager was now incredulous. \'Wait a minute; you
mean to tell me.... a guy came in here to buy a small fish hook but
you sold him a boat AND a four-by-four?\' \'Naw naw, big man... he came
in tay buy a box of tampons furries missus and Ah said.........\"Well
pal, seein\' as how yer weekend\'s f**ked, ye might as well go fishing...\"\'
