    Someone in Comet tried to tell me that because DVI had an analogue section, and you can get a DVI -> HDMI adapter, then HDMI also has an analogue section.

    I walked away.

    Re: Those with Customer (public) facing jobs...

    I used to work in a motorway service station about 4 years ago, serving the food/drinks, and working on the tills. Telling people their 2 coffees and a tea was going to cost them £6 never went down well, although they usually paid up after some complaining while I stand there nodding my head. One time someone was so pissed with the prices he decided he'd pick up his tray of drinks through it all on the floor and leave...
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
