Apart from the 'jokes' already expressed, I expect a few more over the coming couple of weeks as I take up my position behind the counter at the Creative shop in Strand street..
While Bruno, Lynda and Keiran spend time cruising around the Carribean, Naomi & I have agreed to hold the fort to keep the shop open.
Both of us have been fully trained.. If fully trained means a few days looking over the shop, being shown how to use the cash register and credit-card machine as well as how to put pictures (or, it seems, anything else!) into frames.
Items I've never even heard of as well as things from my 'earlier' life like lino cutters have suddenly entered my world.
I've had to use fractions all over again (& explain to others that 14/16th is actually 7/8th as well!) and speak politely to Customers, most of whom have been very nice but there's always at least one not-so-good!.
Well, we have it until Wednesday 24th February as they return to the shop on 25th.
I think I might be going to the pub that night!
