Not everyone needs to tell others what charities they’ve donated to and how much…some of us like to keep it private….doesn’t mean that we haven’t donated.
It’s mild today so I have the shop door open.
Customer (elderly, on crutches): you should have that door open all the time and make it easier for people like me
Me: I’d love to but in the winter I need to close it. If you’re at the door I’m more than happy to come and open it for you. :D
Customer: access for the disabled, it should be open all the time.I decide to keep quiet, customer browses for a while…
Customer: it’s bloody freezing in here, I don’t know how you stand it, you need to keep it warmer in here for us old folk, I won’t be coming in here again…
:roll:

Nooooooo I’m still here…can’t post at night as we don’t have broadband at home at the mo and won’t have it for another week :evil: and because our house is in a bit of a dead spot for mobile signal I can’t even use a dongle or my mobile.
It’s just going into chat…I don’t go in often these days but now I have to click a video I won’t be going in at all…unless someone wants to pm me the url that would take me straight into f3 :D
I’ll still be on the boards…you don’t get rid of me that easily!
Another week before we get broadband back…
* waves at velvet :D
OK I want to know who invented the term smart casual and ask them…for women, what exactly is that supposed to mean?
It’s easy for men, smart casual means no jeans, tshirts or football shirts…throw on a pair of chinos and a shirt and you’ve got it. For women it’s a whole different story…is this outfit too casual, is that one too smart?
In the summer I went to a 40th birthday party, the party was for the hubby of a friend. The invite, a proper printed one, said “Dress code: smart casual”. I groaned. It might have been summer according to the season but not according to the weather so the easy option of wearing a summer dress was out. Bearig in mind that these friends are also very label-conscious, whereas I just look at clothes thinking “do I like it, does it suit me, does it fit, is it in my price bracket”…I know my friends despair of me but hey, that’s me. However it was a special evening for them and I knew they’d gone to a lot of effort to set up a great party for all, so I made an effort. My compromise was a pair of black linen trousers (casualish) and a smarter eveningy top…that’s hit the spot I thought. Imagine…we walked in…Mr Jen was wearing said chinos and shirt, just like all the other men…but the women were all made up, manicured, wearing sparkly expensive cocktail dresses! I did that smiling whilst hissing out of the corner of my mouth thing to my friend “but the dress code said smart casual!” and she replied “but we’re all mums, we don’t get to dress up very often so we read smart casual as smart.” wtf?
So ladies, since it is us who usually write the invites and set the dress code, can we agree to NEVER use the words Smart Casual again? It’s either smart or it’s casual, there is no inbetween! :evil:
Sorry but if you think you can have sex with coffee you’re sadly mistaken…
