fell into a Glen
In less than 2 minutes I’d fallen deeply in love with a youngster, he must be all of 30yrs. His name badge says Glen. A good name, other members of the wendy house family are called Glen, but that wont cause a problem. Glen can solve problems.
He smiles, talks sense, makes constructive left of field suggestion, shows me diagrams, puts different phones in my hand while he uses a real pen to do some quick maths on a sheet of paper. He compares the prices of different solutions for me. I’m totally hooked. After this brief and productive conversation, this performance, we make a date for next Saturday. I bounce out of car phone warehouse with an abundance of teeth reflecting the hot glow of the summer sunshine. Maybe I should propose on Saturday. Before or after I’ve purchased something, what’s the ettiquette?
Well done Reading town’s carphone warehouse, your staff recruitment strategy is excellent. Looks like I’ll be dropping my service relationships with t-mobile, Orange, and BT all in one go for the ‘TalkTalk’ service that some of the Wendy House family are already using. Hoorah
Thankyou to Happy Frog’s friend for pointing me to the carphone warehouse

I am so glad it worked out. Hurrah! I think the etiquette is to propose after you are sure you are happy with everything. Otherwise it could get a bit awkward!

But will you just cast him aside when you get what you want?

I’ll put the proposal on hold for the moment because
- I dont really know what I want (Mme D.)
- find it darn near impossible to be ‘happy with everything’ – (Happy frog’s friend)
- cant really be sure that I’m better than that (Daniel)
Gosh today is turning out to be a bit of an epiphany, time for a Beer in the garden…
