Ever get that feeling of Deja Vous.....

Ok Ok, I know its been a while since I left Norway and started my epic journey to Val d'Isere. To be fair, i've not had time for a day off, let alone any time to write this blog.... but, things are coming together now and i'll try whenever I can to update. Todays blog comes from an inspiration I had this week (yes its half term) and for anyone seriously following this blog, there is a section about the worst clients I ever had to deal with back in 2004.... well, 3 or 4 companies later, would you believe they are back with me once more... shush.. no one knows yet... but I certainly do! I'm not entirely sure they remember me just yet... but they will, trust me.

So while they are still here, I'll keep this one short and sweet...

Guides to being a good client

1) No we really don't need any more snow - Learn to ski on what you have, you are not God, just crap at what you do.
2) Chalet staff are on primarily on a gap year - they are not trained servants, don't treat them as such
3) Boarders are just as good as Skiers, just with less style and panache - deal with it.
4) the Buckles on your boots go on the outside
5) yes we get off at the top of the chair lift
6) When carrying your skis the tips go downwards
7) English money is no use to us, neither is champagne
8) Yes we know England had 3 inches of snow last week, we had 3 meters
9) No we don't want your copy of the Sun, who wants to know what propaganda they are spinning, we came here to get away from that - Bring Marmite
10) Your money, attitude and sense of importance matters not to us, we are doing a job that few would relish, 98% of us will never return, so do we care? (its ok, i'm in the 2%)

And before you insult or belittle us... remember, we have access to every toilet and every toothbrush...
