The Rep and the Childcare Manager. The Childcare Manager and the Rep.
Two people very alike in many ways, both management (ish) on their second ski season, both had childcare backgrounds, both brilliant skiers. Both loved a really good argument.
Neither liked backing down.
Neither had any problems with me hearing their arguments.
Both liked to ask my opinion whilst having these arguments or to 'take sides', if you will.
But there is no doubt about it, the were both very different in many ways.
The rep was from the North of England, the CCM from the South. The Rep had a degree from Oxford and lots of friends who went to Oxford. The CCM had a degree from Exeter and had a friend who was a geography teacher (As a historian, Geographers are my natural enemies, but this one was very nice, rather polite as it happens)
The biggest difference was evident at all meal times. The rep believed that everything you ate that wasn't a vegetable or a fruit was bad for you. The CCM hasn't eaten a vegetable since 1993, when his mother got so fed up of the fuss he made every dinner time that she stopped making him eat them. They both spent most meal times being totally stunned at what the other was eating.
The Rep was fearless at celeb spotting and has chased countless C list celebrities down city streets. The CCM didn't see why anyone would chase Lee from Blue down the street.
And yet they were rather good together, they still are
