Default I thought it was a simple question - honest

While doing this could you please take a moment to write down what the name of the manufacturer is and what the product code is? After doing this could you post it on the MLU forum for me. Please; pretty please and even with sugar on top

Hello Tony and Paul,
In my ignorance I thought I was asking a really simple question.

I am now reminded of a milk ad on TV. A bloke walks into a corner store and walks up to the lady behind the counter and he asks, “ I would like a bottle of milk please.”
The old lady behind the counter stares at him for a while and says, “what type of milk do you want?” and then she reels off a big list of alternatives, “Full cream; half cream; extra dollop…” and the list just goes on and on.

The guy stands there with a stunned expression on his face and says, “I just wanted a bottle of milk which just tastes like real milk!”

I just thought I was just asking for a battery so it would help my truck make vroom vroom noises again – looks like there are as many varieties of batteries as there is types of milk for sale.

Well no one can say that you don’t learn something every time you visit MLU or work on an old military truck!

Thanks for your help – I do appreciate it– just takes a while to get over the feeling of “I just wanted some milk which tastes like real milk”

Kind Regards
Lionel
