Got into an argument about Mike Ashley the other day. A customer came in with an ENORMOUS golf umbrella and I just laughed at it/him. He said he had to buy as they were about three quid from Sports Direct. "I get all my stuff there," he said. Of course, I went off on a (mostly jokey) rant about SD and Ashley when another customer who'd been quietly browsing shouted, "NO! MIKE ASHLEY IS. A. GENIUS!" He was absolutely sincere, listing all his achievements and his brilliant business strategies: "all is he has to do is keep his football club mid-table and reap the benefits." "Er, yeah, that's the problem," I said. He only spent a quid. Bear in mind this in Cambridge but I was still surprised he to learn he has actual living, breathing fanboys.
