I was working up and down the bread isle when these 2 noisy "liberated" kids were making a nuisance of themselves and a number of shoppers were looking at them. I say "liberated" because a parent was with them and made no attempt to control them or stop them making shopping difficult for other people.
I had adopted a disinterested attitude and attempted to work around them when one jumped up on the stool we stand on when stacking items on the higher shelves. For the last couple of weeks it has been minus the rubber gasket on the bottom that actually stops it moving when you stand on it.
I said "can you get down from there please", instantly the child said "why?" rather loudly, in my opinion making sure the parent noticed him speaking to me. He did however make to get off the stool but then slipped and fell off it rather heavily onto the floor. I just walked past him on the floor and said "that's why?" and looked at the parent before going on down the isle. A number of other shoppers were at this point smiling at the child who was dusting himself off and whining to the parent.
This incident apart, the day was also rather amusing when the colleagues in the bakery were fooling around when one of the managers, lets call him "Clay" came along and caught them red handed, hence the title "Clay stop play!" they had a couple of hours before the boss was due in and caught the rough edge of her tongue when she did arrive. I don't think we have heard the last of this though!
The weather is on everyones minds at the moment because as usual the weather agencies keep changing their minds as to what is in store. Last night we had a min temp of -5.7c and some say its going to be colder tonight. Most agencies agree snow is now on the cards for Friday and Saturday
Here's a pic of the view across the River Derwent today
