People are weird!

Our little village has a small Co-op food store, and a fish-and-chip shop right next door. The Co-op is closed all this week for a re-fit. They have had notices in the shop and in their window for a couple of weeks already, saying when it will be closed, why, and for how long. Now I just had a look on the village Facebook page to see if anything interesting is going on, and I found someone has posted the following message: ‘I was just on my way back from my morning walk after picking up a pie at the fish and chip shop and I noticed the Co-op is closed! Does anyone know what’s going on and how long it will be closed for?’ Now you would think that the person who posted that message would in fact be the person in the best position to answer her own questions, since she must have walked right past the front of the shop and could easily have read the notices herself! Was she too embarrassed to be seen looking at a notice in a shop window and decided to make a fool of herself on Facebook instead? Luckily I have never joined Facebook so I can read the posts on the village page but I can’t comment on them – which is just as well in many cases All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2022.
