A young aussie who had moved to London went into Harrods to try to get a job.<<< The manager asked " Do you have sales experience.?" the young man answered "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Woolonga"<<< The sales manager liked the aussie so he gave him the job. His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it.<<< After the store was locke up to the public the manager came down onto the floor and asked "OK, so how many sales did you make today".?
<<<<The Aussie said "One" the manager groaned and said "Just one.? our sales people average 20 or 30 sales per day, how much was the sale for.?"<<<<< £124,335.00 the aussie replied. The manager choked and exclaimed £124.335.00 what the hell did you sell him.?"<<<<"Well said the aussie, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down on the coats, so I told him he would need a boat, so we went down stairs to the boat department and i sold him a twin engined power cat.,, Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pill it, so I took him to he car sales and sold him a Suzuki 4X4!<<<< The manager, incredulous, said " You mean to tell me...a guy came in here to buy a fishing hook and you sold him a rod, a boat and a 4X4.?"<<<<< "nah!...He came in to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said<<< "Well since your weekends buggered. you might as well go fishing"
