Phone shop workers not really gurus or geniuses

SPOTTY 19-year-olds who know a bit about smartphones should have more appropriate job titles, it has been claimed.

Consumer affairs campaigner Tom Booker said: “My phone has been playing up so I took it back to the shop to see if they could have a look.

“The girl didn’t know what was wrong with it so she recommended that I go and see one of their gurus.

“I was kind of imagining a Maharishi type with flowing robes and visible magenta aura but then this spotty teenager with those massive hole things in his ears came out and I just thought, ‘Fuck off’.’

“In any other job he’d be the tea boy.”

An average man’s cumberbatch is about a teaspoon’s worth.

On rough Autumn nights like this there’s nothing nicer than curling up on the sofa with a cat on your lap, an old movie on the TV and a nice warm bowl of crack on the go.
