WOMAN: Excuse me, sir.
MAN: Yes. What?
WOMAN: Can you give me just a few minutes of your time?
MAN: It’s not very convenient. I’m in a bit of a hurry.
WOMAN: It’ll only take a second.
MAN: A second. I don’t think so.
WOMAN: OK, then a couple of minutes.
MAN: Look, I’m really busy. I don’t think …
WOMAN: Oh please, sir. If you answer just a few questions you’ll automatically be entered into our prize draw.

MAN: What are my chances of winning?
WOMAN: The same as anybody else’s, I suppose.
MAN: How many people are taking part in this survey?
WOMAN: I wouldn’t know.
MAN: Look, this is really …
WOMAN: Come on sir, you’ve spent a couple of minutes talking to me already. You might as well answer a few questions.
MAN: Oh all right, if you must. But let’s get a move on.
WOMAN: Right, well the first question is ‘How often do you go shopping? Once a week, twice a week, three times a week or more than three times a week?’
MAN: Oh, once a week – but only if I have to!
WOMAN: Yes … and how many items do you usually buy when you go shopping: one, two, between three and five, between six and ten or more than ten?
MAN: I don’t know, really. I suppose, well, usually it’s a couple of things. No more than two anyway.
WOMAN: I’ll put two then. The next question is ‘How much time do you spend when you go shopping, an hour …’
MAN: I don’t understand the question.
WOMAN: Well, when you go shopping how long do you spend for the whole expedition? Less than an hour, between one and two hours or more than two hours?
MAN: Oh. less than an hour, if possible. I mean it’s not something I do for fun!
WOMAN: OK, the fourth question, ‘When you go shopping for clothes what do you buy most often, trousers, shirts, underwear, “l-shirts, jackets or sweaters?’
MAN: I’ve absolutely no idea.
WOMAN: Well just say one of them, anyone.
MAN: Anyone?
WOMAN: Yes. Why not?
MAN: All right. Trousers.
WOMAN: Right. The last question, ‘What is your favourite colour for a pair of trousers?’
MAN: Never thought about it.
WOMAN: Yes but if you did?
MAN: Black, I suppose.
