HAWES
December 6th, 2002 Posted in UncategorizedYesterday saw the Fleet Department Christmas lunch at an exceedingly posh restaurant in Harefield. I was sat at the table with a couple of French girls, a Dutch guy, and three of the most important people in the department, including everybody’s boss - the Fleet Director.
After a couple of beers and a few glasses of wine, the conversation was flowing merrily along until one of the French girls mispronounced a word. The subject of conversation then swerved to accents and pronounciation. The big boss man said “French people cannot say the word ‘Hawes’.”
I was astounded, how could the Fleet Director - one of the most respected people in the whole of Renault UK, be so rude?
‘Whores?’ I queried, visibly shocked. “Yes” he said, there was a slight pause, “my surname”. “Oh, I see” I mumbled and took no further part in the conversation.
Oops.
