A young Geordie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job.
The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"
The young man answered "Aye, hods, I was a canny salesman back in
Newcastle."
The manager liked the Geordie so he gave him the job.
His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked "OK, so how
many sales did you make today?"
The Geordie said "Just the one, Marra."
The manager groaned and continued "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or
30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"
£124,237.64" replied the Geordie.
The manager choked and exclaimed "£124,237.64, what the hell did you sell
him?"
"Well, forst I selt him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and then
I selt him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was gannin' fishing
and he said doon at the coast, so I telt him he would need a boat, so we
went doon tiv the boat department and I selt him that twin-engined Power
Cat. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took
him doon tiv the car sales and I selt him the 4 x 4 Suzuki".
The manager, incredulous, said "You mean to tell me....a guy came in here to
buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and 4x4?"
"Ner, nah......he came in heeya to buy a box of tampons for his ladyfriend
and I said......... 'Well, since ya weekend's f**ked, you might as well gan
fishing."
The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"
