OK not sure if this qualifies as an embarrassing story as such but here goes anyway.
I was working for a financial advice company (basically in those days there was little or no regulation, so basically I was selling insurance door to door) not a great job but it did teach my a lot about selling to people which served me well in later years.
Anyway this company had various branches around the country, in our area there were 3 Coventry (mine) 1 in Birmingham and 1 in Leicester - every so often we would have an area meeting which was usually held at Coventry or Birmingham.
On this particular occasion it was in Birmingham, so the sales people from all three branches meet at the Birmingham office.
After the sales pep talk (meeting) we were offered wine, red and white in fairly large volume.
I am not much of a wine drinker now, but at the time I don't think I had previously had wine (could never afford it) of course like many others I had a skin full and soon got a group together to visit the yard of ale on route to the train station.
After being thrown out of the girls toilets (genuine mistake, partly because I was well and truly bladdered and partly because one of the local office salesman had told me it was the gents) well I couldn't really focus on the signs lol
Anyway we eventually made it back to the train station and boarded the train for Coventry.
When the train stopped it woke me up and I found that someone had been sick all over me (well actually I later realised it was me who had been sick and fallen asleep in it.
Strangely non of the other guys from Coventry were around, so I got off the train and made my way to the exit, it was during this short but arduous walk that I came to the conclusion that I wasn't actually in Coventry.
I thought I must have slept past Coventry and gone onto the next station Leamington Spa - bloody hell I never realised that Leamington train station was so big and busy!
I finally found the ticket windows, there were bloody loads of them - I asked for a ticket to Coventry and was asked for very near £10 I said that is very expensive I only want to go to Coventry.
Well sir that is the cheapest fare from London to Coventry - Bar Stewards had left me asleep so I ended up in London lol
I only just managed to get the last train back to Coventry and had to walk 3 miles from the train station because I didn't have a taxi fare and of course the buses had finished a long time since.
Of course as I walked into the office the next morning (somewhat cleaner and sober) I got some serious ribbing.
Needless to say I sought revenge on everyone of the people that got off at Coventry without me that night - but that is a different story and involves laxative ;-) a lot of laxative lol
Power Optimiser - Tuning By Technology...Computers, very clever computers, control modern Vehicles.As clever as they are, these computers don't think for themselves, but operate and perform certain tasks based on software programs installed on them.The manufacturers do a fantastic job in the first place, but cannot provide 1000's of variables on each model they sell, they are also restricted by a wide range of criteria including fuel quality, environmental operating conditions and emissions to name but just a few.The restrictions manufacturers have to deal with mean that they, in effect have to produce a one size fits all offering, and whilst it is a good offering it cannot be expected to suit everyone 100%Thats where we come in At OoLoO we use sophisticated software to enable us to slightly modify these software programs and fine-tune the performance of your vehicle to deliver optimal performance based on your specific requirements.· Increase BHP· Increase Torque· Reduce Fuel Consumption
So whether you are a general member of the public or running a fleet of HGVs we can help to improve the power output and or fuel efficiency of your vehicle.
