It does all sound great Glatt, but it made me smile for a slightly dufferent reason.

The younger partners I work with have generally never moved out of Aylesbury. They are on a steeper learning curve than me. I cannot claim to be a foodie but if you move around and stick around for 40+ years you pick up a lot. and I don't mean things that require antibiotics.

Last week a partner and a customer had the beginnings of a conversation headed in separate directions. The customer wanted to know if we sold kalamata olives. My cow-orker was trying to direct her to the fish counter to buy calimari. I stepped in like Wonder Woman (but without the short-shorts) and walked her down the prepacked deli aisle, where indeed we do sell kalamata olives.

I promise I wasn't smug. I'd never even eaten an olive when I was his age.
