"Life insurance rate, Life insurance rate,Life insurance rate and for absolute certainty life insurance rate.......yes we aim to give or customers te very best life insurance rate and this is ho......"

The presenter of the company droned on and on and on .....I had his words ringing in my ears as I slipped out to go to the loo. I tried hard not to yawn as I left the conference hall.

I don't think anyone noticed me slipping out. So what anyway? I need a breather and all the stuff I need to know is in the mounds of literature.

If my customers need to insure themselves or their property they aren't stupid they know they can search around for the best rates . Why on earth am I spending a beautiful day in the UK in a stuffy conference hall.

Sod it. I went to the loo and freshened up. Shall I or shan't I? I could nip out for a couple of hours and be back in time for the next networking session and workshops. So I did.

The sea air was wonderful I slipped my shoes off and strolled along the beach the cool sea lapping my feet. A do barked excitedly in the distance. Surfers were riding the waves and childrenplayed in the sand while parents sunbathed and picnicked it was a fabulous day.I felt re charged out here in the fresh air.

'Sandie.......Hey Sandie'

A figure was running towards me shouting my name. Someone here knew me, how could that be .I'm new to the company, I'm not in my home town. I was curious.

'Sandie it is you isn't it...Sandie Billingham?'

'Er...yes?'

'Well we met some years ago at Liverpool Uni I was doing Design Technology and you were doing Marketing, I'm Bri', you remember me,Brian? I was a bit nerdy then I guess'.

It was slowly dawning on me who this gorgeous stranger was. Brian had been part of our social group .We went everywhere together through our University years. All seven of us.Unfortunately, when we left, we all went our separate ways.

'Of course I remember you, God how you doing? its been years, what are you doing here ?'

'Look let me treat you ,fancy a coffee and we'll catch up'

'Absolutely' and I put my shoes back on and linked my arm into his and off we went for a coffee. He was drop dead gorgeous and single , I think my networking may stop here.
