to speak the customer's language Explanation: It is a quote from a well-known Swedish poem: ".., och han talar med bönder på böndernas vis och med lärde män på latin." It is not quite the same thing as to "talk the talk and walk the walk" som I will refrain from proposing thet. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2009-05-19 15:01:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- so I will refrain from proposing that (excuse my dyslexia) |
