Andrew's beach front bar

It has been brought to my attention that my responces for,

"yes I agree." or "Mmmm."

and my

"Excuse me? can you repeat that?" or "Mmmm?"

sound exactly the same.

People will say something to me, i'll go "Mmmm." and they will repeat themselves, thinking i said "Mmmm" or I will say "Mmmm?" because I didnt hear, but they think i am agreeing with them.

How can "Mmmm." and "Mmmm?" sound the same, the latter one definatly goes up at the end.

It's where Michelle and I had our honeymoon when we were married.

The building which our shop is now in dates back to the 1840's. I was just up on the third floor in the picture framing workshop, and could hear somebody down stairs in the gallery. I heard footsteps, and the rustling of paper, like somebody was looking through the cataloges. I left what i was doing and went to take a look, there was nobody there. The only way to get up to the gallery is through the shop, so i went down to the ground floor but my sister, who was on the till said no body had been up there.

Also, we have been known to hear the small tins of Humbrol paint rattle, when nobody is there, and we have on ocasions heard a womans voice when there is nobody here.

This is the street back in the 1800's.

and this is it today

But i still think it's one of the greatest cop shows of all time.

That looks like my kind of bar. Need to retmorgage my house though...look at the prices

Who she? She being the old woman who scratched our car in Tescos yesterday.

Our blue car, parked along side her red car....she opens the door of her car, and 'crash' straight into ours.

Tell tale red mark inprinted in the body work. "No." she said when we told her to look at what she had done. But it was clear for all to see, red paint on our car, blue on hers.

"Look." my wife said, "I saw you do it, and the proof is there for all to see. Letsd just exchange details."

"I'm not giving you my details." the old woman snapped, and atempted tyo get back into her car. "It's not my problem." she said, "I dont give a damn."

That was clear from the dints in her car, it seems she must make a habbit out of this type of thing.

The tried to pull the door too, almost trapping my wifes fingers in the door, she fut her knee up to protect herself and had the door slammed too on her knee.

The old woman then pulled away at speed almost running over my wifes foot.

Then a couple of chav types came over and stook therir oar in,

"She's an old woman. leave her alone..."

What does age have to do with it? You have to accept responsibility for your actions despite your age. If Adolf Hitler had been an old man would people have said,

"Oh he's an old man. leave him alone."

OK, so the damage is only cosmetic, but that isnt the point. The point his that she denied it, even though she was seen, and also the fact that she didnt even have the decency to offer any kind of appology.

Maybe we should have done her car as she drove away, see how she felt if the shoe was on the other foot!! Bet she would have had something to say about it then.

We did mention it in the store, and asked if there was any CCTV on the car park, but alas not. The only CCTV is on the entrence/exit to ensure people dont park for longer than the tweo hour limit.

The end of the bank holiday that is. What a blistery (is that a word?) weekend it was. The wind was whisteling through the windows and doors sounding like somebody playing on a kazoo!

Barely left the house yesterday, the wind was so strong all the trees were bent double in the garden, and leaves are falling like its Autumn, except they are still green.

And now it's back to work, and this morning it's pooring with rain. I have 20 minutes before I have to leave for the bus, do I risk the brolly in this wind, or do i just slap a load of hair gel on my head, and hope that holds it in place? (if i put enough on the rain might just run off).

ah well, supose i better get ready.
