The final episode (that I had forgotten about) of my history of jobs before I became an EMT. No more after this, I promise!
This is the final episode in what has become a seven-part saga relating my experiences in numerous selling jobs. As I come to the end of this part of my history, it has occurred to me that I have now covered on this blog a great deal of my working life; also all three marriages, as well as my day to day life at the moment.
I have commented on countless films, and quite a lot of music, as well as voicing my opinions about world events, domestic politics, and other issues. Almost 330 posts, which I have to look back on, to even remember what I wrote at the time. Am I running out of things to write about?

Best wishes, Pete.

I like Perrier. I drink it occasionally. When I’m at a restaurant I’ll ask, “do you have Perrier?” and they’ll say , “we have Pellegrino.” Apropos, isn’t it?

I rarely drink mineral water. When I was trying to sell it as a ‘new concept’, I used to agree with the customers who thought it was crazy to pay so much for something that came out of the ground in France.

What a mad world sales is! I used to sell hearing aids, bloody awful job when you’re up against the NHS, and I wasn’t that great at it though some private audiologists do really well.

Hearing aids are so expensive. I never realised how much they cost, until a friend bought one. I thought it was a bluetooth earpiece! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
