Well.... no....

You could be doing the sharp intake of breath routine and saying something like

"Mrs Jones....... it's yer pump"

whereupon Mrs. Jones mouths in a hushed voice...

"Will it be all right?"

and you give a wry smile and nod, resulting in a very relieved looking
Mrs Jones (who
would be willing to pay anything to know this) and an apprentice who
looks on in total wonderment
at how BG can possibly get away with charging £150 per annum for this.



I currently have both the apprentice and the half moon glasses it all adds
to the 'credibility factor'.
