Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

Waiting for my wife the other day, outside the chemist's shop, a tradesman's van pulled up beside me and a lad jumped out and went into the chemist's, returning to the van seconds later and driving off.

When my wife came out and got back into our car, she told me the lad had asked the pharmacist, "Do you sell liquid paraffin"?
"No, sorry", says the pharmacist.
"Oh, no, I can't get any anywhere round here", says tradesman.


It made me think - it's ages since I saw anywhere selling paraffin!

Just thought I'd mention it!
