You didnt go to Swindon on Saturday, did you?
I went, why do people leave there maners in the kitchen cupboard before they go out?
No one says thankyou if you hold the door open for them, they push infront of you in the queue. And when your trying to look at something, they come and stand infront of you.
I lasted about an hour, gave up, came home and shopped on line with a nice glass of wine to steady my nerves :lol: |

i really wish i drove.up there it would have saved the hanging about we had to do.why we bothered getting a ticket was beyond me cos not once were they checked.on the coach coming home this woman sat next to me she must have been the most misrable cow out.
give me my car ,own space anytime.
i didnt get all the things i wanted but sunday morning i had to pop in to chippenham and found three presents what i couldnt find in swindon and one what i have been looking for all year so it just goes to show the stuff you want you can get on your own door step. :lol: |
