The day my million pound business almost went under for the want of a £3 thingummy.

That was all I needed.

Everything that I possessed was mortgaged on that ruddy data processing machine.

First really big order.

Urgent job.

All set to start.

Switch on.

Nothing.

Kick.

Still nothing.

Panic.

Get the engineer.

Strip the lot down.

One microchip failed.

Nearest spare 300 miles away.

Delivery van doesn’t deliver until tomorrow.

Charming.

Phone client.

Apologies, apologies, had a bit of a delay.

Job might be a little late.

Client exploded.

Last job you get from me, etc.

Sudden thought.
