but I'm still chuckling now, hours after the conversation.
John and Eddie come into my little room in the corner of the factory and John asks, "Can you smell Creosalt?"
Me: Smell what, sorry?
John: Creosalt.
Me: Creo-what?
J: Creosalt.
Me: You mean Creosote.....
j: No, I mean Creosalt.
Me: Oh, right. No i can't, cos there's no such thing. I call it Creosote, right, everyone else in the world calls it Creosote, the people who make it call it Creosote.
J: Well, *I* call it Creosalt.
Me: fair enough: why don't you just give everything random names and make people guess what you're on about? Why stick with Creosalt? Why not call it Betty?
John, after a pause, turns to Eddie: Eddie, can you smell Betty?
OK well I was in creases but there you are.
