Thanks for that Mary like everyone else it has been a laugh.

Spoil sport Frank, what does it matter it's been doing the rounds we all had a great laugh, even my G.O.M. (Grumpy old man) had a grin on his face after he had read it. Thank you Mary. Jean.

That's a great story Mary. I was practically falling off my chair with laughter!!

Sorry did not think you would think it was little old ME !!! But it is so funny and if it brightened up your day it was worth it.

Love Mary xx

Ohh Mary, what you like:o)))) yeh it did have us all going...lol

Mary is very naughty getting you all going like that. This story has been going round the internet for at least 3 years, still good for a laugh of course.

Just my opinion but think you should all boycott the Co-op, personally don't shop there to expensive. lol.

not at all suprised you were banned he he,by the time all the customers had a wobbler ,there would have been no one left in the shop to buy anything ,exept maybe hankies ,lol.Fred.

Wonderful - I think you have read the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple"

LOL - ask the bl**ding obvious - and get a great tale from Mary!!!!
The Co-op should employ you to keep the queues entertained!!!

Oh Mary that is fantastic, me and OH cant stop laughing. I would love to have been in that queue, made my day that lol

Mary you are so naughty.

They should employ you so that you can make people happy and laughing every day, You could be similar to the Poet Lauriette or the !Story Teller.!
