'...so, will this bottle/pack run out really quicky?'. BA: 'yes, it's really small and poor value so you'll need to buy several just to get you through the week'. NOT
'....is this difficult to clean?'. BA: oh yes, it's got loads of nooks and crannies which will trap dirt, it doesn't go in the dishwasher and you'll spend for ever at the sink. NOT
'...do I ask questions which state the bloody obvious just to give you, the BA, an opportunity to reinforce the perceived features/benefits which are on your card?'. BA: oh yes Simon- all the time mate.
