Thats funny lol..........
Went to BOOKS ETC. at Cheapside in the City and I reckon there is an new breed of shop assistants about.......the ones that know very little about very little...........
Went to order my Copy , told the girl Title of the book:The Complete Nail Technician II Edition, the Author and got all excited as I thought I was just a few days away from reading this new highly praised book.
She typed all this into her PC thingy lol.............. then said " Oh Madam you!!! must be mistaken, there is no second edition.....in a very condecending tone ...."So I said no I am not mistaken, this book was officialy launched last month with signed copies".........She still looked very blank and vacant at me......
Then advised me to order the one that they have on their stock list .........
I told her it would not be any use to me, as I have already got that one........
She said are you sure?
So I said "Oh yes very sure, read it many a times"
Then proceeded to tell me(with a real tone of self importance) that they always have the latests and newest arrivals at their shops...........
So I said well you must be mistaken then....so she said Oh no Madam, I know my job and I know if it is in print we would have it on our system...........
I said......Well if I was you I would check the system for errors then..... because the Author is a friend and brought me a blooming drink the day after the launch............
Her face was a picture, bless her little paper bookmarks........
So now I am off on Monday to Waterstones and order it from them......
I will get the book !!!!!!!!!
