That’s classic!
but try this one for size…
last year I made an appointment with my account manager at our bank in Spain
(:Cry:already some will be wincing at the mention of Spanish banks!:Cry:)
After keeping me waiting for 15 minutes we sat down but pretty soon he jumped up again and said he just had to step out for a moment.
I thought he just needed a leak/paperclip/pen that worked. So, imagine the incredulous look on my face when I saw him through the window, walk by on the pavement outside ! He came back again about 10 minutes later carrying a coffee and a croisant!
Cheeky MuthaHubbard had been out for breakfast!
