Follow-up

I BoUgHt a pair of sandals and the young assistant asked me: ‘Are you going somewhere nice to wear ’em?’ ‘oh, no, I’m not going to Wareham,’ I replied, to which she gave me a strange look. It wasn’t until later that the penny dropped and I realised what she had said. No wonder she gave me such a funny look — not many people buy shoes without intending to wear ’em! Mrs S. A.
