Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Overheard (1)

So I'm standing in the supermarket queue earlier with several bags worth of food on the conveyor belt, and a lady comes up to me. She hovers for a minute before asking me whether I would mind her going ahead as she only had two items and she needed to get to a funeral urgently. Given that I was in no rush I said it wasn't a problem and for her to go ahead.

It does beg the question though, if you're late for a funeral why go shopping and risk missing it completely. Also, what sort of funeral requires you to bring two packets of discounted frozen pork chops and £50 cash back?

I won't even go into the appropriateness of skin-tight zebra striped leotards on a 50+year old female with bleach "blonde" hair...
