I felt lucky so, while I was shopping I bought a £2 scratch card.
Joy of Joy's I won £2 so I joined the back of the queue to claim my winnings, my turn arrived, I handed over my card, you haven't done this right the lady shouted (almost screamed) at me.
Why say's I whats wrong?
You haven't uncovered the security code.
What security code? I asked.
The one that confirms it's a winning ticket.
Excuse me, say I, I've already confirmed it's a winning ticket by uncovering 'Winner' and the amount £2.00.
Ah, yes says she, but if the security code isn't uncovered I have to uncover it and that takes time.
I stood back slightly and put on what I consider to be a puzzled face (that is of course completely different to an amused face) pretended to look as if I was considering what she said, then asked, who needs the security code?
I do, she replied, well, I suggested if you need it have a penny ready to uncover it and shut up, your nagging has taken far longer than if you had done it without complaining, I've done my bit now you do what you need to do.
