Normal, average height, non brain eating people

Off to Sue’s parent today to further try to sort out their internet connection. The phone company is going to boost their line, it will take 48 to complete but hopefully this will sort out their problems.

The we went off to the cinema to see Hot Fuzz. Very goods film, all through it thinking that we recognise where the filming too place. Turns out to be Wells in Somerset. Quite a funny film, had me giggling most of the way through it. Lots of famous names in it. Thoroughly recommend it.

On the way home we thought about tea, We knew that we had some packet rice at home and that cooking that would be quick and simple but what to have with it. We popped into the local Tesco Express to look for something. We bought some Chicken Korma. Then to the checkouts, hoping to avoid being served by ‘Happy Chappy’ who neither of us like, or ‘Scary Mary’ who has always scared me. The problem with Happy Chappy is that he is exactly that, happy. And like all the time. At 6 in the morning, you don’t want to be served with Mr Happy. Chatting away about Happy things. No, Just ring up the items, take the money and that’s it, we don’t need your life story mate. Now Scary Mary looks the opposite, like she’s just about to eat your brain.

Why can’t Tescos employ normal people?

Anyway tonight we got Scary Mary. Sue wanted some batteries and they are kept behind the counter. I knew asking Scary Mary for them would be trouble and it was but not in the way I had imaged. You see Scary Mary is short and can’t reach the batteries and so had to call for another shop working to come across and gab them. The other Shop Assistant was only slightly taller than ‘Scary Mary’. During this time she was chatting to Sue about how they used to have a box to stand on to reach the items but after ‘an accident’ it got taken away. I looked around. All the other staff were also vertically challenged. So it didn't matter who served us, they could not have reached the batteries

Scary Mary then commented on our Nan bread, hoping to that she was having a Curry that night. Sue joked with her. On leaving They smiled at each other. As I passed her, I too smiled at Scary Mary, Hoping that I might over come my irrational fear of her. Her face dropped and she stared at me like she was going to eat my brain.
