    A young Geordie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job.
    The manager asked "Do you have any sales experience?"
    The young man answered "Eye, hods, I wer a canny salesman back in Newcastle."
    The manager liked the Geordie 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 locked up, the manager came down and asked "OK, so how many sales did you make today?"
    The Geordie said "Just tha one, Marra."
    The manager groaned and continued "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?
    �£124,237.64" replied the Geordie.
    The manager choked and exclaimed �£124,237.64 , what the hell did you sell him?"
    "Well, forst I selt 'im a smaal fish ook, then a medium fish ook, and then I selt him a new fishun rod. Then I asked him where he was gannin' fishun and he said doon at da coost, so I telt 'im he would need a boot, so we wenna doon tiv the boot department un I selt 'im dat twin-engine Poower Cat. Then he said he didna think 'is Honda Civic wudda pull it, so I took 'im doon tiv the car sales un I selt 'im the 4 x 4 Suzooki".
    The manager, incredulous, said "You mean to tell me....a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and 4x4?"
    Nah, nah......he came in ere to buy a box of them there tampons fer his ladyfriend un I said......... 'Well, since ya weekend's f***ed, ye might as well gan fishing."
