What I didn't say was that the Pets at Home assistant seemed pleased about my recommendation as she'd not heard before anybody's feedback about the Pee-Cleaning-Up-Miracle-Fluid. And it truly is a wonder of science. I can imagine that there are times when working behind a till that you switch off from noticing what products you are scanning and asking money for; I guess it can become a bit repetitive and automatic. It just amused me that I was asked what appeared to be fairly obvious questions (to me!) in two stores next door to one another. And hey! it's a blog, you've got to allow me some creative editing. ;) Yeah, I’m not meaning to insult any shop assistants who may be reading this.

I dare you to suggest it. Now, that would get some good press coverage- a room full of dog-collared vicars shouting, 'Die you *%^$!', at their computer screens. You could even market it as a stress-busting therapy for harassed pastors. You could run the Expo as an alternative event to the golf match at General Synod. I dare you to suggest it.
