  • Ah, hello.

  • Welcome back to Tip Top Trading, the UK's leading wholesaler of imitation fruit.

  • Today you're joining us in the middle of the action.

  • Anna is with an important client, Mr Lime, from Citrus Ventures.

  • He's angry and she'll have to calm him down.

  • She could cope brilliantly here or this could be a horrible mess.

  • Well, Mr Lime, how can I help you?

  • On Monday I was meant to receive 8,000 plastic grapefruit from Tip Top Trading.

  • Yes?

  • The delivery was made on Tuesday.

  • Oh dear.

  • And instead of 8,000 plastic grapefruit, I got 800,000 plastic pineapples.

  • Right, Anna.

  • This is serious.

  • You're going to have to apologise and show that you really mean it.

  • Say, I'm really sorry to hear that.

  • I'm really sorry to hear that, Mr Lime.

  • What on earth am I going to do with 800,000 plastic pineapples?
