Shopping

Today we have been in to Winchester.

We had a few mundane errands to perform. After a good lunch time snack in Blanc's Patisserie (notice the apostrophe), we did some shopping.

In W H Smiths I purchased, one expensive Art Magazine, two novels, more about them another time, and a lovely jigsaw. The Sales assistant  asked "would you like a bag for them". I said I would she then told me that the bag would cost me 1 penny. I told her that I thought that was a bit harsh, as I had spent £42. Bless her she then said she had no penny bags, but I could purchase one for 12 pence.

I had a word with the Manager, who agreed with me that CompanyPolicy, should be left to the discretion of the shop assistant, and that expecting me to pay for a bag was unnecessary.

We went to Marks and Spencer, for food top up. Scats for birdseed, had the car washed, and returned home.
