Good afternoon from a dazed and confused sawrey stores...... A customer ordered a cumberland news, I order that cumberland news, the cumberland news arrives, the customer arrives, NO cumberland news!?!?!?! I phone the customers who have been in during the first 10minutes of opening, no one has it, I think it must be a holiday maker who has taken it by mistake.... michael goes across the lake to get another cumberland news as its the only newsagent around here which has a spare, he delivers the long awaited cumberland news........ guess what!?! a customer in the next village sat down to read his telegraph and found a ....yes.......cumberland news and brought it back!!!! dennis from buckle yeat took the papers and the cumberland news must have got mixed up by mistake, i forgot he had been in, if only I had remembered, 2 hours of chaos could have been avoided .....you truly could not make it up
In and amongst all of this the drinks supplier arrived and as many customers as this little shop can fit in arrived.......phew...
On a lighter note another customer has brought us in some locally grown cucumbers, they look just like cucumbers shoud! another customer told a story of one of her relatives who at a wedding said " yours was about 22 inches wasnt it...and it fed 100 people at a wedding" ;0)
My loyal helper Alan has been an absolutely marvellous help amidst the chaos this morning and he even made time to display the carrots int he most lovely way....Cheers Alan
I think thats all for now folks, happy friday :0)
