Hi there.
This is Harry, and welcome back to my podcast.
I didn't do a podcast last week because I was visiting my grandchildren, and they're doing well.
They're all growing and running around.
Well, certainly the, the boys are and the little granddaughter who's only six months sitting there looking at everybody.
So I had a week off, a weekend off last week.
So today the weather is good.
So wherever you are, I hope you, you're enjoying it.
So I thought I would continue with some business expressions.
We've done those over the last couple of podcasts, and I'll do the same today.
So I'll just throw out some ideas and some phrases that you might come across in different business conversations and try and give you an explanation as to how we use them.
Somebody might call you, and the first question they'll ask after they've introduced themselves or said hello, is, are you busy?
That's a very classic question.
Are you busy?
Well, of course, one reaction might be, ah, no, I'm just sitting here with my feet up.
What else would I be doing?
Of course I'm busy.
I'm working.
Yeah.
So, well, are you too busy to talk to me?
