overheard

one till jockey to the other.
"i think i'll have peas tonight'
"i had peas last night"
that was it.
i am sure a day of serving the customers who frequent one of london's biggest specialist stores is not the most stimulating of experiences but surely there is more to life than peas?
(though i was left wondering; peas and what?)

walking along brick lane, off to get a coffee (what else?) when a slightly flustered and annoyed bloke strode by yabbering on his mobile. he was exasperated that someone had gotten his directions wrong and that he was having to go get his lost companion.
"where are you?" unheard answer. "i told you to walk up the hill." unheard answer. "well it is not a hill just a slight incline....'
(those who know brick lane would probably say it was flat and that if there is an incline it is unnoticeable, no wonder his mate got lost.)
