Dave Allen as Vicar Sketch

Man wearing Duffle Coat. Its ages since I have seen someone in a duffle coat which he got on E bay. It was the sort of Duffle coat that Jack Hawkins wore in Cruel Sea. The young man lacked a lantern jaw though. I wonder if he found a pipe in the pocket?

We seem to selling plastic samurai swords. No doubt is sales do not meet the target then staff will commit Seppku

I did a vox pop exercise on the Saturday Sentinel and the lack of value. It’s only two years since they had the launch and put the price up to 60p with supplements. The supplements have gone and its still 60p. I chatted to about a dozen people all them felt that they had been ripped off and they bought the paper out of thinly stretched loyalty.. One woman compared the P and T favourably in comparison “ more local and better written”

Woman going to Silver Wedding celebration, 70^th and 18^th birthday celebrations as well as engagement all on one day. I feel that such a portmanteau approach to family events would not work with a funeral. It did remind of the Dave Allen sketch where a Vicar marries an elderly man and a heavily pregnant woman. The man dies and the woman gives birth.

Woman tells me that the Fieldfares have arrived at Ipstones. Autumn is here

Man tells me that he has seen AC/DC at Trentham Gardens when a light fell off a balcony nearly hitting him. Curiously enough I was told a few days ago of a similar incident that happened at a Yes gig at the same venue in the 70s. There must be a Phantom of the Opera operating at TG

One of my favourite blokes a Scot came past. We always have a good laugh. We spoke about the British Empire and the hardship of the British standing up to natives armed with vicious guava fruit when they had only highly explosive shells and machine guns. Black adder came into the conversation esp the line about Field Marshal Haig moving his drinks cabinet 6 inches closer to Berlin  as a consequence of the Somme Offensive.

I am getting people through the till at an average of 7 minutes which coincidently was the time that hangman Pierrepoint took to dispatch his clients
