Apologies before I start; but I am going to have to endeavour to publish this blog in two bits, hence the part 1 at the top. The second bit will follow straight after.......or it might be before; I don't really know how this site operates at times.
Anyhoo........normally I am overly punctual; I am never late. I usually end up sitting in the car for a good five minutes before I have to be in a certain place. But this morning I found myself slightly out of kilter.
I was still a goodly way from being late; but I was cutting things a bit fine and I had to stop at the local supermarket on the way through to pick up some tobacco. I have been pondering the idea of giving up the smoking thing; but with the prospect of a five hour marketing workshop ahead of me I just knew that it wasn't going to be today.
So I ran into my local Asda......other supermarkets are available. There was only one other person ahead of me at the counter where you will be stoned to death if you are not buying tobacco products or newspapers or lottery tickets; and seeing the lack of any queue I felt somewhat relieved; but my feeling of relief soon turned into abject horror when I realisede just what sort of person was ahead of mke in the queue.
