Subject: RE: BS: Words of Wisdom - a quick quiz.
We went to see about a new mattress at the weekend, and the salesman spoke just like Trump. He backtracked, waffled, got lost in his own clauses and said about five things at once. I reckon it was a technique for baffling customers into submission. I'm afraid my old schoolteacher persona came to the fore and I got very stern. I've dealt with so many shifty children over the years and I haven't lost the art. We went elsewhere in the end and got a better deal! I'd say Trump is a very slippery character indeed. He's accustomed to wriggling around with huge business deals and making vast sums of money. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't buy a secondhand car (or a new mattress!) from him.
