Brilliantly done of this unfortunate lady Michael, hope there's not a surge behind her going for the sale she will get trampled.

Thanks Carole. Tramping, exactly Carole. There's something about getting a bargain which changes our movement habits and our decent behaviour. The law of the jungle prevails.

Brilliant..love the humour Michael!!

Different...yehhhh. brill

Thanks Peter. If it is different that's good for me 'cause the alternative can get a little boring.
