Two hours and all he had to show for it was a bad back.

Friday and Saturday are easily the busiest days in the weekly supermarket calender and this week is no exception. Luckily Cliff was there working away serving customers with his usual cheery demeanour. Today a side of Cliff was revealed which until today had previously been unknown. Firstly we saw him entertaining a child. His teasing nature is fine for the majority of his customers; most just give Cliff an awkward smile and leave as soon as possible when exposed to Cliff's 'banter'; some, like us, look forward to it. But for one minority group, his devilish grin and witty quips can seem threatening and frightening. I am, of course, talking about children. Our tiny friends do not seem to 'get' Cliff as we do. Today, he tormented a youngster by pretending to eat his Kinder Egg. A harmless gag, perhaps, and one with no malice intended. But to the innocent child in front of us, it was a direct attack on his property.

This case of mental anguish, over it was our turn in the queue. Boy were we in for a change! Today Cliff was trying out some new material and it's a bit blue people! This mysetrious women who he keep talking about was mentioned once more and this time things appear to have taken a turn for the comical. It began with him mouthing the words "did she come round last night?" to which we did our usual bemused reply of "no" at this point Ciff looked scandalised. He then continued in his usual vein of rambling about things that we only catch the barest part of. Today he made mention of the woman coming round to his house at 8:30 and doing something for two hours that left him with a bad back and feeling very tired. This already intiated a giggle loop situation which is one of the worst situations to be stuck in at a normal time, but was particularly bad right now. He then went on to say something equally incoherent about his pyjama cord which I suppose we should be greatful we didn't quite catch.

Anyway as a dose of comparative sanity here is a link to a more normal, much saner blog than this. It documents the events of a someone trapped in Liverpool.
