Pre-Christmas Shopping

Scooting about in Big Market Town, which is really quite small, I had to go into Waterwell's Bookshop. I am much more a creature of libraries as our many regular readers will know! However, needs must and the devil drives.

Having made my purchase, a present for a colleague, and secreted it about my person I was hovering by the door waiting for the tide of pre-christmas shoppers to subside so I could limp from the building. A woman of uncertain age and social background flounced into the shop and demanded at the top of her voice,
'Ave you got any funny books about, er, er, senior moments!
I slipped out of the door and jotted down the statement verbatim. My memory is not what it was.
