I Wonder...

[gness]

what she really wanted to say to me....☺

Popped into a small Co-op in Kettering today....just inside the door is/was a post with buckets of water containing flowers. A very elderly man selected a large bunch...pulled it up and the bucket fell.....spreading water and flowers everywhere.

He was so upset and embarrassed so I told him to carry on shopping and I would sort it....I reported it to the desk.

A young assistant came to clear up and was obviously having a very bad day...she didn't say anything to me...the culprit as she thought....but she chuntered loudly about clumsy customers...didn't she have enough to do without mopping up water...and on and on...

I moved a few yards along to the meat section where two ladies had been inspecting and putting back sausages.....as they moved to the next aisle all the packets of sausages they had been looking through....fell of the shelf onto my feet.

What could I do but look at the mopping up girl....smile, shrug and say whoops....but the look on her face was priceless........

Wish I still had my lip reading skills....☺

Not really an answer Gness but I was at the checkout in the supermarket at 8.30am today, one of the supervisors was chasing round asking till staff for advice, (NB not many customers or staff about) Apparently a member of staff (back-stage) wasn't feeling too well, feeling clammy and sweaty and should they ring for an ambulance. I asked how old this chap was thinking heart attack!!! Told he was a young lad about 17, (temperature outside was already heading for 70F) so I suggested that they phone his mother and ask her to come and pick him up and sort him out!

Hope he's OK!!

i feel sorry for the sausages ... being inspected and rejected

[murraymints]

That'll do tone...as long as you remember prick then fry ....not other way round !

Get the bbq out, tony. Some steak, rare please, A good green salad and perhaps a Michael Smith spud one as well, new ones par-boiled and then allowed to soak in basalmic and vinegar, add green apple slices, red onion and a mayo, half Hellmans and yoghurt whipped in so the gals can watch their waistlines a bit - and I'll have a glass of cold NZ sauv blanc to begin with.

Ta in advance and no kidding around!

[boxtops]

Just stay away from the pile of bean cans, gness....

[tonyav]

Don't worry minty, I'll prick them first nothing worse than your sausage exploding !.

[murraymints]

DT...too posh for our sausage sizzle !

[murraymints]

Indeed ..never fry your p....!

[tonyav]

Sorry DT, I only know how to do steaks, sausages and burgers and they all come one way only in case burnt !.

[DTCwordfan]

that's his wiener, minty......

[murraymints]

With mustard ?

[gness]

Boxy....I never, ever go near anything like that....☺

blimey....now we're having a BBQ...I'll open the Guinness...

Cory.....I was in the large Co-op in Kettering....always me and the Co-op... just two of us in the aisle...me and a stranger.....he suddenly started to roar and fall.....I did a rugby slide and caught him.....he was having a heart attack....

I held him on my lap til the ambulance arrived at the same time as his wife.....I told you not to lift that fridge into the car you idiot...was her response....☺

[tonyav]

Ohhhh, wince wince.

[tonyav]

Well done with the heart attack man, gness. Wonder why his mrs didn't give him a lift with the fridge.
