we’ll all go to hell…….

at the checkout at the local garden cantre when a woman walked in through the OUTER automated exit only doors., and fuelled by the thoughts of: (i presume) dwarf leylandii, neorrgegelia carolinaee tricolour and a novelty singing dog that whistles the irish rover broke into a run and hit the inner glass door with such a loud bang that the entire shop turned to see if the iraquis had finally invaded.

with the door still firmly shut the poor woman pirouetted around and swerved from side to side holding her nose in both hands until someone approached the door sensor and it opened. the woman staggered into the shop and collapsed into an unnatended wheelchair which I can only assme the staff had placed there for such an incident.

Immediately the caring stafff surrounded her and advised her of the mechanics of the modern automated door system and the true meaning of the ‘exit only’ signs they had displayed in an effort to stop people doing just what she had done!!!

As i glanced round at my fellow shoppers I couldnt help but notice the number of sucked in cheeks and biting of knuckles that had seemed to have afflicted all people within laughing distance of th doors.
I am sure that I (and others) will go to hell in a hand cart for finding this so amusing , but in a week of news of terrorist cells, hanging dictators and the take that single this was a moment of comedy gold worthy of a perrier award.
