Irritant of the day!

I have seen some funny moments in my life but I have witnessed one of the funniest events of my year.

I was happily walking down the street, when I heard some crazy shouting, it sounded Irish, and it sounded Gypsy.

I and these two women with 5 kids entered the Tesco's express shop, I had been walking around the shop for 5 minutes or so when I heard the mightiest of arguments occurring.

It was a big gypsy fight. Shouting, more shouting and hard to understand gypsy sounding shouting galore.

One woman was accusing the security guard of watching her carefully and unfairly compared to others in the shop. You would have done what this security guard did if they entered, they screamed trouble.

It was in good reason, as her and two children were snacking on sausage rolls from the shop before they had even paid for them. This wasn't acceptable to the security guard but the gypsy woman wasn't having any of it. This was in front of the whole store, and there was at least 20 people queuing to pay as this express shop had a large intake caused by the scan pack and pay problems.

I felt as if I was on the Channel 4 show, My big fat gypsy Wedding. I was almost looking for the cameras.

What a funny trip it was.

Rather fed up, YES I AM

When you pop into the local shop to buy some milk or bread, or even a Twix, even though you might only eat half off and put the rest in the fridge for an after dinner snack, and the shopkeeper is unresponsive.

The unresponsive shopkeeper who is on the phone whilst they serve you at the till, not acknowledging a 'Hello' of friendly sorts, but a mindless nod. Chatting away on the phone and only sometimes mustering the strength to actually say how much you owe them.

It is know wonder our local shops our disappearing and Tesco is growing, when the local services are providing a minute caring approach, I will take the drones at Tesco's who ask you how your day is!

You know who you are!
