Re: Don't forget
When I was 17 and just getting ready to go to University, I got a job in a sports shop for the summer.
One day a titled gentleman came in to pay for a bicycle repair and presented me with a cheque. I (as trained) asked for a cheque guarantee card. The "gentleman" turned bright read and shouted "Don't you know who I am", at which I carefully inspected the cheque and replied "I hope you are Sir D**** H*** as that's the name on the cheque you are attempting to give me".
I turned round to look at my boss but he'd fallen through the door to the store, shoulders heaving with silent laughter.
I'd not seen anyone turn that deep purple colour, but he eventually gave me the card.
God knows what colour he'd have gone if he'd caught me climbing out of his daughter's bedroom window at 2am the previous Sunday morning.
