So we're driving into Harrogate and Jan reminded me of one of our funniest encounters from years back when searching for something specific for Minnie.
We were living in France and Minnie had just started her 'season' and we wanted to try and keep Max at bay. As we were visiting Harrogate at the time we felt that we could probably get some sensible advice more easily in our own language.
We popped into a little pet shop and asked for help. It turned out that there was no practical help available so we left the shop. Just as we got outside the door the elderly owner came rushing out to see us and offered us these prophetic words.
' As my grandma once said to me, n'er trust owt wi bollocks.'
We still laugh when we think about it.
Much as it pains me to admit it, his granny wasn't far wrong!
ReplyDeleteI agreed at the time and have never looked at Alex in the same way since. And Max went on to prove his maleness - but that's another story.............
