I was asking Graeme Smith, of Intertruck, why they chose Monte Carlo for their conference. "We Wantedto get the delegates away from the pressures of their day to day business, to a place where their wives would not be demanding their attention during working sessions and to an atmosphere where they would be receptive to such a heavy and 'important topic as the future of British road transport."
I could be receptive to most anything in Monte and I'm sure I wouldn't give a thought to all these other nasty things if I wasn't meant to. rung out his raincoat, dried out his brolly and put his Wellington boots in the cupboard, CM's Manchester man made a follow-up call. "Will we repeat your ad, Sir?" "No lad, it's all right, air got the four trailers by 10 o'clock last Friday right after the ad appeared." Our man was pleased, even when his customer said: "Mind thee, ah had to go to South Wales to get them."
