omg it’s him! :shock:
Almost a year ago a customer in her mid twenties came into the shop, absolutely devasted…her sister, in her early thirties and a mum of 3, had thought she’d beaten cancer a couple of years previous but had been told that day that she had secondary cancer, that it was terminal and she had just a couple of years to live at most. My customer was devastated, I held her for at least 10 minutes as she sobbed. Needless to say she wasn’t looking forward to Christmas and all she could think about was losing her sister and the children being left without a loving mother. We talked about faith, life, death, the importance of a positive attitude and making the most of every day.
Roll forward a year…
My customer has just come in full of smiles, she hasn’t forgotten that day and she wanted to share the good news, that her sister has just had a check up and the cancer is significantly reduced and the whole family is looking forward to Christmas this year and planning a cruise for next year. :D:shock:
I hope you at least slammed the door in his face once you’d taken the toblerone and shoes. :evil:
Racist or xenophobic?
Especially when they’re hot mmm mmmmmm :D
That was the eighties…we had a contractor come to work for us, from Rochdale, more hair on his chest than his head, came to the office wearing shirts unbuttoned to below the chest to show off his gold medallion, offering the women that he fancied a ride in his Lotus Esprit that he’d changed the sound system in because “the one it comes with just isn’t good enough”…we called him the Rochdale Cowboy and whenever he was lounge lizarding his way over to our group whoever saw him first would hum the opening bars of Rhinestone Cowboy to warn the others.
Memories… :lol:
It’s Town Day, lots of hustle and bustle and high spirits and lots of smiles all round despite the weather…and for some reason people think I need feeding! So far the tally is a tray of homemade fruit flapjacks, some cupcakes, a coffee from Costa and best of all the freshly made doughnuts, still hot, and he remembered that I don’t like them sugared :D
Cos it’s supposed to be macho :wink:
