As Mordac will tell you, I am a master of tack. You have to be subtle.
This week on a conference call to the US I was asked on the performance of the sales system they were using. The developer and his boss were in the room. So I told them
'It looks like something that Blue Peter would've knocked up!'.
'Oh whats Blue Peter?' was the question from the yanks
'Oh it's tv show where they make stuff out of sticky back plastic'
'Oh....' then silence.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
