Narrator: Welcome back to Tip Top Trading where everyone seems a bit flustered.
Paul: …and we really need the best biscuits there are.
Denise: Yes, and I’ve made sure there’s tea and coffee…
Paul: …and the carpets?
Denise: Uh?
Paul: …have they been cleaned.
Denise: Don’t panic Paul, all taken care of.
Narrator: You see, the big boss from America, Mr Socrates, is in town and
everything must be just right. What’s he like Anna?
Anna: Well, so far he seems OK. A bit bossy, quite short and… a bit smelly!
Narrator: Well, he did just fly in from the States. But you booked him into a good
hotel so hopefully he’s had a chance to clean up.
Anna: I hope so!
(Phone rings) Oh, I had better get that. Hello? Ah hello Mr Socrates, did
you sleep well? Oh! I see… I see… erm… well… oh, I don’t know… Tom
said it was five-star… well… OK… goodb- Oh, he’s hung up.
Paul: Everything OK Anna? You look a bit pale.
Anna: It was Mr Socrates. He’s not happy.
Paul: Golly gosh, oh dear. What’s the matter?
Anna: It’s his hotel room. He doesn’t like it. The bed’s too soft, too small and
it’s a single room not a twin room.
Paul: Oh yes, he likes to have two beds in the room for some reason.
Anna: But Tom said he only likes a single bed in the room.
Paul: Really? Oh no, he insists on a twin – something to do with business
partners he says. Anything else?
