More Tales from the Supermarket!
Went to Morries this afternoon and bought a 12.5kg bag of Wonky King Edwards. At the checkout, I ask the lady whether she could scan the barcode whilst its in the trolley to save heaving it out. Yes, she says, and leaves her seat to walk around to my trolley. She's staring at me and eventually says "Is your name Carole?" - then "Are you from Maindy". I say Yes to both questions. I grew up in Maindy and left about 1968 - she recognised me after all these years!!
I didn't recognise her, not helped by wearing a face mask. While she rattled on about all the neighbours we had had in common, the till was still adding in bags of potatoes - 5 sacks in total.
She then had to cancel them all and start again! Fortunately, it was quiet in store and there was no queue.
Don't know whether being recognised after 50+ years means that I look young or that I always looked this old.
I bought 3 bags of bananas at 9p a bag, cheap carrots, calabrese, mushrooms and pears so it was a worthwhile visit.
Now a question for you, especially Bren..............Do guinea pigs eat bananas?
No, I don't have guinea pigs but I was asked the question in Morries and I'd like to know in case I'm ever asked this random question again.
