First customers of the day were a guy in his early 20s accompanied by a "yoof" in his early teens. If I'm honest I thought they might be on a shoplifting spree so I was surprised when the older guy promptly picked up one of our Valentines Day cards and a Fanny and Claude Bath Salts pack (both handmade in the Lake District of course). On interrogation (we always probe for personal information - it helps the day go by!) we found that the older guy was an outward bound instructor and the "yoof" was one of his pupils. Furthermore, the instructor is bringing his girlfriend up to the Lakes next weekend for a romantic weekend in one of the loveliest guesthouses in the area....he even told us which restaurants they're going to (hope they don't close in the next week Angela lol). After that he is taking his girlfriend to Thailand for a month. I guess he qualifies for the "going the whole hog" Valentines Day man and I'm only glad, for his girlfriend's sake, that large cards with padded hearts held by cute teddies are now out of fashion!

I can't even imagine how these old-fashioned large cards with padded hearts held by cute teddies looked like. Maybe someone could send me one, plese? By the way, it would be the very first Valentine's Day Greeting Card of my life, lol!
ReplyDeleteBetter to have had no cards at all than a padded one I think
ReplyDeleteAll men beware. You are fair game for micky taking in the shop. I almost feel sorry for Sean. Gary Betts
