Episode 66: Choosing a gift
Janet: And how's my favourite shop assistant today? Tim: Oh! Good morning, Janet! It's assistantmanager actually. Janet: So sorry, darling, assistant manager. Now, I do hope you can help me. I'm looking for a very special gift for a very special person. Tim: I'm sure we can help you there madam. Is it for a gentleman or a lady? Janet: A gentleman. Fine jewellery looks so lovely on a man, don't you agree? Tim: In that case, let me show you these cuff-links... and here are some very nice tie-clips. Janet: Those watches look rather nice. Tim: Err, yes... but the latest model isn't available, and it's important to have the latest model, don't you think? Janet: Not necessarily. I always say that style is more important than fashion.
