Great Britain - Help!
« on: August 20, 2002, 10:54:04 AM »
I got a couple guys coming in this morning from England to look over our trailers... er Caravans.

What is a good "bad teeth" joke?

How often should I put down the Queen? Admiral Nelson? Churchill?

You all still sensitive about losing that war in 1812?

:D

I suggest that you ask them what it's like back in India, and when they say "we're from the UK" you can say "eh whatever"

Replicant - are you sure that "Britian" isn't just the American spelling of Britain - you know like color vs. colour? ;)

I hope for you there is a large stash of beer nearby (especially after 17:00), doesn't need to be cool. :)

OK, I fixed BRITIN!

LOL, I gotta share. sometimes being a flight sim dweeb has its advantages. I'm talking to this guy (Steve from Manchester) and I discover that his company makes Helicopter accessories.

So we start talking about flying, yes he is a pilot, owns his own helicopter. I ask him about Duxford. BAM! We are best buddies. He introduces me to his kid, we tlk about the American Museum in Duxford.... bottom line, We just sold 10 coaches to this guy. :D
