Actually, I’d have thought this sort of thing was pretty good for business jen-jen.

I can just see all those smelly unwashed ‘new age’ hippies pouring in to purchase the latest ‘thing’ to ward off the attacks of the insidious – including little green men from a spaceship.

BTW: are YOUR customers the bastards that buy up all the corned beef in the supermarkets every time a conspiracy theorist comes up with a new one????

Tut tut PB, such stereotypes you have in your mind! :wink: Can’t believe someone would be so upset about people buying up corned beef though…. :shock:

Actually most of my customers are clean, well dressed, well spoken people who you’d never think are into my kind of shop if you passed them in the street. The discussions are (usually) very rational, logical and well-thought out. The kind of people who come in and have their theories about comets, aliens, the end of the world etc. tend to seem a little off-kilter and just want to express their theories, usually quite forcefully, taking up the whole shop and putting off the more “normal” customers, and they never buy anything, so no, not good for business!!

Toy, I remember going down to Brighton seafront for the total eclipse, joining lots of other people and waiting…. Anyone who’s ever lived or worked in a seaside town will know how noisy seagulls are, you even hear them at 3 in the morning when I thought all birds slept! But when the eclipse was total, total silence – even the seagulls fell silent, and I don’t think I ever heard that in all the time I worked in Brighton. There was an eeriness in the silence, even the air seemed to change, then light began to show again and the biggest flock of starlings I have ever seen took off and swirled and swooped in formation in the sky over Brighton seafront. A magical few moments then back to earth with a bump as we all had to go back to the office!
