Heard in a shoe shop

A couple, obviously retired.

Yes they will, I'll just ask them.

Mumble mutter mumble grumble...

What about those - do you like those?

Mumb...

Or these. Do you like these?

Mumble mutter mumble grumble...

Do you want to try them on. Go on, try them on.

Mumb...

I doesn't matter I'll just ask them.

Mumble mutter mumble grumble...

Don't be silly, yours have a hole in them. Come on.

Mumble mutter mumble grumble...

  1. Sounds like me when the Mrs takes me clothes shopping because (in her opinion) I 'need'a new item of clothing.

  2. James - the non-mumbler was Mrs.

    Woodsy - I'm not keen on it either, especially if it means a trip into Derby.

  3. Derby! You should be so lucky AK. In my case it could mean a day in Stoke-on Trent.

  4. Some years ago, an ingenious manager of M&S in Truro located the menswear department just inside a nondescript door leading straight from an upper floor of the multi-storey car park.

    Unsuspecting males of a certain age could thus be ushered in and presented with garments to try on before they realised that the shopping process had begun; the result, if my visits to the shop were anything to go by, was an abundance of conversations very like the one you describe.

  5. Woodsy - I've mostly seen Stoke from the A50 on route to the M6.

    Mac - that's cheating!
