  • Farce

    From Simon T@1:229/2 to All on Tuesday, June 11, 2019 20:02:06
    From: darkangel5@REMOVETHISBITlineone.net

    That was an absolutely fucking farce!

    Nowhere to park round the back, rear doors to the stump cordoned off due
    to building work. Nowhere to park in the market place, as they're
    setting up for the market tomrrow.

    Had to park illegally in the pedestrian bit by the memorial just to
    drop her off, which meant I couldn't leave the car and walk with her
    (didnt want to do that but mum kept bleating on about dropping her there).

    So im sat there not knowing how long I'm supposed to wait until its safe
    to drive off, or what time I'm supposed to come back and pick her up

    Then we find its not on anyway.

    Needless to say, I am NOT doing this again. Not at the stump, not on a
    Tuesday and certainly not when I've just worked a 12 hour shift.

    Supposed to be a disgruntled email to my sister about a wild goose chase
    I got sent on.

    Unfortunately, I clicked the wrong tab in my newfangled email program
    and it posted it here by mistake.

    This post was so English it brought a little tear of homesickness to my eye. Please tell me you stopped at Greggs on the way home.

    I'm pretty sure "the stump" is some kind of secret code for the
    Travelodge but must admit the memorial reference has me confused.
    Shame on you, Simon. And your mother.
