So I was destined for one of ‘those’ days. Took a late train into London and sat opposite an old man in a pin stripe suit. He scowled at the guy who sat next to him and spent the whole journey being difficult - wriggling around and virtually pushing him out of his seat. His victim was blisfully ignorant of it all and spent the next thirty minutes smiling and reading his book, which probably pissed off the pin stripe even more.

Then I had an argument with a grey-haired old woman in Tesco who pushed past me in the queue. It was one of those one-line-for-two-tills queue and she claimed to think I was only lining up for the one on the right. She got the woman behind her involved, too, and suddenly both of them were at me.

In front of me, two exchange students were doing their best to pay for

Hey, at least you don’t have little kids to deal with when you get home, that’s one thing to be happy about. Sometimes I wish I could just take a few days holiday away from my kids…
