Tried searching and nothing came up. Hope it's not a repost!

Heard this on the radio so thought I'd google it, this was the first link btw.

If that is at all accurate then good on TM Lewin. Looks like she didn't really know how to talk to customers and her accent was ste.

TM Lewin - Upmarket? Give me a break.

What she fails to realise it that those elocution lessons would have stood her in good stead for the rest of her career. However, she seems more content on trying to make a quick buck and get her mug in the paper.

In reference to other matters. I would.

Interesting figures from the Mc Donalds bod...£500,000 during Christmas week and £3,200,000 for the rest of the year. Even if Christmas was considered as being 10 days, do these places really turnover £50,000 a day?

£50k in a day would equate to about 16 £5 meals per minute in a 10 hour opening.

was her accent different at her interview and atthe time they offered her the job?

Can you imagine the st if they had asked an indian or pakistani to drop their accent and to speak the Queen's english?

Would her accent matter that much anyway?

She was applying for a job in the Trafford Centre, possibly the most chav invested tacky sthole in the Northwest.

TM Lewin used to be a single shop on Jermyn Street. Ties were its speciality, including custom designs and bespoke ties. They also made shirts, but these were very much the secondary line.

Then the name was bought and the current multi-outlet, non-English 4 for £100 shirt shops started to pop up everywhere Starbucks-style.

Agreed that it's grown massively, and that the shirts are no longer UK-made, but I'm not sure it's been sold. The same management team have been there for the last 20 years.
