The BBC's Readers pictures this week is hanging off the story above with the theme being, sunshine, worth a look
The customer challenges yesterday at the shop were bordering on a "Brian Rix farce!" One was describing, "its a bit like a jaffa cake but in the shape of a teddy bear" she had bought some 3 weeks ago and was sure it was from the cake isle. After some cajoling and wandering around we finally tracked it down to an "On offer" item in the biscuit isle!
The best one however was one who had only bought the item 2 weeks ago but couldn't remember where she had picked it up from. A long drawn out description could be chopped down into "Like a bun case but chocolate" Armed with this i found our boss, "lets call her TracEy!" and described the item. She said, Hang on is the customer a small lady? if so i showed her 2 weeks ago!" The item she said was with the ice cream cones and toppings.
On the way down to the item i mentioned what TracEy had said and the customer replied, "Oh yes I remember her, nice lady"
No doubt today will have its challenges also!
I like this story from the BBC about Steam Trains It recalls the 126mph achieved by "Mallard" the worlds fastest steam train 75 years ago.
Mallard was the same shape as this one called "Bittern" and I remember as a boy seeing a similar shaped one called, "Sir Michael Gresley without realising that it was he who designed this class of train.
Finally - - - By popular request! well not really, Sally's sister stopped off on her way home yesterday and had a cup of tea with us in the garden and she mentioned the current Birdfeeder cam view was all very well but not as good as the old one. She mentioned liking to see the odd glimpse of us and being able to see down to the house. I'll give it a go at the end of the week!
Enjoy the day
