Export Business
Suddenly, the company in California I’ve been negotiating with is ready to sign.
This is so important, to say nothing of the many months of work involved; I have to fly there now!
The second I get off the phone from the airline, I phone a good Californian hotel to be sure of a reservation.
Of course the Reservation Clerk wants both my credit card details and residential address. Patiently I spell Brisbane for her and then Australia.
“Aren’t you glad I don’t live in Tallygaroopna or Coonabarabran,” I conclude with a flourish.
“Sir, you have no idea how glad.”
