Having had my unexpected 3 days off as catalogued in my DOH!!! post of the 17th Nov the last working week was a short 3 days. The growing list of Christmas lines helps remind shoppers that they are in for a prolonged period of "conditioning to buy" before the big day!!
On the "days off" scene the water repair men continued to rip up the road and generally get in the way. This was tempered when a workman knocked on the door Thursday to tell me "you'll be fine now we've finished your bit".
This i took to be the apology the Severn Trent help desk mentioned when i phoned them 2 days earlier about the water going off when it hadn't been scheduled to.
Secure in this knowledge i decided to go shopping only to find 2 vans parked either side of our exit blocking the view out. I did however get a jolly wave from one of the drivers. On returning from shopping one vehilce had gone but the other was now blocking the drive entirely. The driver however was in the van and moved it" I gave him "a jolly wave!" of gratitude.
