One day at Crewe Works (circa 1939)
Stanier's Secretary, on the phone: He's right here, Sir. Do you want to talk to him?
Sir William Stanier: (mouths "No!" several times)
Secretary: He's right here...
(Stanier flees, only for his secretary to chase him halfway across the Works)
Secretary, still holding the phone: He's rIGHT HERE-
(Cut to Stanier being pinned to the floor by his secretary, who has the phone pressed against his ear)
Stanier, reluctanctly talking on the phone: Why, Sir Topham, how are you doing...?
