Can we sell a few buses to Christchurch who need them
We have too many large buses in Auckland with few drivers. We could sell some onto Christchurch which would give the AT the funds to purchase some mini 6/8 seater buses for running in the suburbs.
These micro buses could be electric with a slot beside the driver for a wheel chair and do not require a heavy duty license to drive.
This Story Is Just, Ugh…
I work in a discount store that sells clothes and trinkets that were considered “rejects” on the factory floor but good enough for us to sell at a discount. A new coworker who is still learning English after moving here from Cambodia is helping a customer buy a “Live, Laugh, Love” display made of large solid letters.
Coworker: “I’m sorry, this is damaged. You’ve lost a “la”.”
Customer: “Pardon me?”
Coworker: “It’s supposed to say “Live, laugh, love” but the “la” has fallen off of the laugh. If you like I can get you one that isn’t broken.”
Customer: “Are you kidding?! That’s even better! I wanted it because of that!”
Coworker: “Okay… if you’re sure?”
The customer is even more excited and makes the purchase, leaving my coworker confused. They share their confusion with me.
Me: “One thing you’ll learn about the English language is how much we hate our own phrases and love to subvert them.”
Coworker: “What do you mean?”
Me: “That sign said: “Live, ugh, love.”
Coworker: *Blank look.*
Me: “Trust me, it’s better.”
