Just remembered this one today ( dont know why it just came to me)
My last job was an engineering buyer with lots of supplier contact...some you got on really well with and had a laugh...they didnt see this coming
So, i rang this hydraulics company up..
'hello mate...i got this valve in front of me, theres no manufacturer on it, just some numbers'
'No problem, give us the numbers, i'll see what i can find'
'It reads...BO...440...i assume thats the voltage...then CK5'
'Dont recognise it...leave it with me, ii'll see what i can do'
'Cheers mate...give us a ring when you do'
Put those numbers together, and you end up with BO440CKS
(better if you write your number fours without joining the top angles, if you know what i mean)
Almost a week later, i got a call....'you self-gratification artist '...'i've spent all week trying to track that down'...i was just looking at it and it suddenly dawned on me what you've done '
Any offers ?
