Rona Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Come on cloots, cough up on the smilies! I am going into Norwich shopping today and shall try and avoid Gentleman's Walk where all the students hang out waiting to mug you in the name of some charity. When I take my MIL shopping in a wheelchair people tend to keep out of our way (I wonder why ) also, I can really pile her high. Sometimes we end up with just a tuft of white hair and a pair of feet to show there is anybody there under all the shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 When I first took mum to Tesco's (those days are few - now I loathe the place) she said "meet you at the veggies". So waiting at the veggies, no sign. Went to look up the aisles with veggie section in view - no sign. Then I spot her 15 minutes later walking up and down outside the shop windows with her shopping all packed up. Argghhhh. I never lost my children! At least you know where your mum is by the tufty bits! You could dress her up for Guy Fawkes. Have fun at the shops - you'd better take precaution just in case Clootie is there blowing another gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The sky is grey, it's trying to rain and it's very windy, but it's now Wednesday afternoon so it's almost the weekend! And I didn't have road rage this morning for the first time in over a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I threw a major wobbly in the Post Office this morning. It is polite and in fact requested that you allow those at the counter to have some privacy, and that you should not advance beyond the line marked on the floor until it is your turn. The woman behind me stood so close to me whilst I was trying to send off the Silent Auction item, pay my phone bill and draw some cash out that I could hear her breathing in my ear......and her feel dripping umbrella jabbing me in the leg. After a few pointed glares, I said in a very loud voice 'WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AS TO STEP BACK AND ALLOW ME SOME PRIVACY WHILST I PUT MY PIN NUMBER INTO THIS MACHINE'. She did. And the lovely girl behind the counter read out the notice in a clear voice so that there was no room for doubt, and grinned and winked at me for all she was worth.

Alis girls Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yikes - all those germs breathed in your ear you should've told her you were recovering from swine flu - mention SF in our surgery and the waiting room empties - it only needs a receptionist to sneeze and hey ho - all those hypochondriacs are out the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy-Mama Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 lol, this thread makes me our post office is a nightmare sometimes, always someone talking loudly on a mobile and really crowded... when we move we will have a post office van instead of an actual post office... I can't wait, peaceful country village yey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
