In Camden market
Stall Owner: Whats your size?
Me: 32" waist
Stall Owner: You looking for trousers? We have some good ones here.
Me: Nah, I want a skirt.
Stall owner gives me a blank look

At the beach party
Rhona: It's all Robin's fault!
Me: Wooohooo!

At a meeting today
Me: The customer's testing it for us, they just don't know that.

Did you succeed in buying a skirt?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Yep, found a nice long black cotton psuedo-combat style one; just the one I wanted. Plus a mesh top to boot.

The customer's testing it for us, they just don't know that.

Isn't that what's known as "ticking-box testing"?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

We call them PD releases, they're great; it's win win.

"Heres this modification you wanted mr. customer, it's not been fully tested and we won't support it."

Develop it as fast as you can, barely test it, throw it at the customer - and they're not allowed to complain, only say thanks :)

OK, somewhere in a normal clothes store in Cambridge or so this wouldn't surprise me but in Camden? He can't have been there for long.
They should be used to blokes buying skirts or high heel shoes.

I know, this was camden market he should be used to alternative purchases

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]
