Read the text carefully and then choose the best option When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting forty members of a football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn't using the potato peeler. I had no idea what a potato peeler was so she let me into a small room behind the kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms. She explained as if to a small child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button. When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand. She asked what I meant. "Well, they aren't ready yet," I replied. You can imagine how I felt when she lifted the lid and took out the potatoes the size of peas. The potato peeler was not automatic.
