What a Dump!

Ha ha we have arrived in Kishorn, and it is GORGEOUS see the pic!! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Scottish Highlands it is flippin' miles away near to the Kyle of Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye, get a map out and weep about how far away I am!! (tee hee!)

I have had a really stressful 2 weeks at work and with deadlines (oh gosh just listen to me) so I am really glad to be here for some R&R.

People are sooooo weird! On Friday morning I dashed into town to get last minute stuff, was in a real rush with Alex in tow, who was complaining 'cos he had to walk. Our last stop was M&S to get a few nibbles and I was like COME ON ! COME ON! Hurry it up Already!

Anyhow, they have this offer on at the moment, buy more than 35 quids worth of stuff and you get a free punnet of cherries. So the woman in front has qualified for the offer and the guy on the till who looked like a uni student and was very nice and polite says "ohh you haven't picked up your free cherries". So he shouts another kid to get the free cherries. The lady then goes " well I hope they are British Cherries, because if they are those ones from Turkey I don't want them!". Well you guessed it, the guy comes back and they are Turkish. SO she says "I don't want them, I am not having them in the house, I think it's terrible that our fruit growers are struggling and M&S are buying in Cherries from Turkey!!!" Well at this point dear readers I am not sure whether to scream or laugh, fair do's she had a point but I WAS IN A RUSH FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!

SO everyone in the queue is being terribly British and shuffling about uncomfortably. Uni Guy smiles and says "but they are free" Principled woman says "I don't care I don't want them!" OK so Uni guy then says "OK I am very sorry about that" she says "it's fine it' s not your fault" and he comes back with " oh but it is I am a Turkish Cherry Grower ha ha ha!!"

And so comes the punchline, she finally pays for her stuff after grumbling to a nice old couple in the queue, she has made a right issue about the damn cherries and she the says "oh go on then I'll give them to my mother - she hasn't got the same high principles as me" and sweeps out of the shop...........................!

So thanks for reading and I'll be back with more non- cherry related stories v soon ,re-reading the cherry saga makes me think of Ronnie Corbett in that big chair "and so the producer said"
