A little blast from the past for this post...
20 years ago, I worked with a colleague at Thomas Cook who was constantly tripping over his words, providing much hilarity for everyone within earshot. He knew what he meant – and I guess we did too really – but it didn’t stop us from splitting our sides!
I hope you all enjoy these historical gems 20 years on as much as we did at the time...
“Yes it’s really great isn’t it? It always ceases to amaze me!”
“Sorry, I can’t make that meeting because we’re moving our whole office building that day.”
“That new low-cost airline is a no thrills operation...”
“Did you know that Eurostar have taken on an ex-Virgin as their Sales Director?”
“Those partner contracts aren’t worth the penny they’re written on!”
“It just feels like we’re robbing Paul to pay Peter...”
“That would be like taking your finger out of the dike and opening the flood gates!”
“What a wasted day! I feel like I’ve achieved squat-diddly...”
“Let’s have a look at the footfall data from those Geiger counters in the stores”
“Are you going to jiggery poker those sales figures for me?”
“How was the meeting with British Airways? Did they give you the 3 Degrees?”
Yes, that final one gave me visions of an impromptu rendition of “When will I see you.. again?” in the Board Room at BA’s Heathrow HQ too!
With my humble thanks to a dear ex-colleague - enjoy!
