LADY :           Have you any shoes like these?

SALESMAN: What size?

Lady:             Size five.

Salesman:       What colour?

Lady:             Black.

Salesman:       I’m sorry. We haven’t any.

Lady:             But my sister bought this pair last month.

Salesman:       Did she buy them here?

Lady:             No, she bought them in the U.S.

Salesman:       We had some shoes like those a month ago, but we haven’t any now.

Lady:             Can you get a pair for me please?

Salesman:       I’m afraid that I can’t. They were in fashion last year and the year before last.

But they’re not in fashion this year.

Salesman:       These shoes are in fashion now.

Lady:             They look very uncomfortable.

Salesman:       They are very uncomfortable. But women always wear uncomfortable shoes!
