Very interesting although I'm not sure if I'll buy it - could be so depressing.<br /><br />Demetrius - in a while... no I can't think of the last word.<br /><br />Wiggia - minute portions sounds posh though. At the other end of the scale we don't like large portions - the other day we shared a cream scone because scones seem to be expanding to the size of a small cake.

Are they just passed along individually in the zeitgeist, such that people hear it and think "I'll try that one at work - it might get me more tips"? Or do managers hold training sessions where they get staff to repeat with just the right level of insouciance? Role-play until they get it right?Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.com
