a bike shop owner trying to counter my entirely justified complaint about him overcharging me for a fair old time once continued the argument into the street and then manically screamed "caveat emptor" at me two or three times, followed by what he thought was a triumphant "you don't know what it means do you"?
I think he thought he'd been better educated than me, possibly thrown by my lancashire accent.
Needless to say I never returned to Mr Fawlty's shop.

I had a "keep going" about 2 hours into my first 24h TT. I'm sure it was well meant!
