I was delighted when I saw those!

When I got them to the couner the cashier said to me, "Are you going to be Queen for the day?" and I explained I was sending to Australia she was quite impressed. I said, "I expect my friend and her husband will wear them as they jump around the bedroom"

"Is that what you'd do?"

"No," sez I, "but I'd wear one while doing the hoovering naked!"

I was quite tickled by this exchange (which I think probably made her day too) which almost took my mind off the fact that a member of Marks & Spencers staff had been rude to me 10 minutes before. I'm still cross about that now. I should have complained about her and then taken her job! I mean I was more polite to staff when I worked in Asda, let alone speaking to someone like that in M&S!
