Post Office And Chemists, A world Beyond?
 
I had the misfortune of needing both today.

As is always the case we have to stand in line.

In the Chemists, an array of, Ladies thing's & toffee jars filled with nothing a real child would want.

In the post Office, the wrong size envelopes, Greetings cards that, (if you read between the lines), say, I forgot your birthday/anniversary/funeral, in this case the P.O. also had a card full of knives that would remove corns from toes, (didn't notice that at the Chemists).

Why, wherever we go are these shops without imagination?

Why don't they have useful things on their shelves?
:confused:

Nah, owt that needs panty liners must be a strange design.

Oooh feels like a fresh pair of knickers!
How can you tell? May as well have stale knickers, a panty liner must insulate either feeling or it ain't doing it's job!

Only for a few hours at a time, and a lot of it is over dressing. Good stuff doesn't need improving.

True, waking up the next morning looking like Alice Cooper ain't a good look but clever maintenance covers a multitude of sins!! It's just enhancing what you've already got really Lol.:p:o:(

Ha, ha, never touch the stuff myself, I tend to cover myself with a burkha just to give the local ladies a break. Being a modest soul I don't wish to sap all the attention although covering the hump is a tad difficult !!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:
