I'm more or less used to the "is that a triumph" and "do they still make those" questions.

Today however whilst I was out getting some groceries it would appear that the locals have upped their game.

The girl at the checkout asked me " are you not worried about breaking those eggs if you have an accident?"

Then I had a market reasercher ask me how I got to the store today while I was loading my shopping into the panniers.

Then to top it all, some old chap asked me while I was waiting in the queue for the petrol pump if my bike was electric as it was quite quiet.

Then people wonder why I think that Bletchley was a failed genetic experiment.


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
