OK! Just after Christmas me and my...Embarrassing? OK! Just after Christmas me and my mam were shopping in town and stopped for dinner in a cafe in a department store. An old neighbour was also there with her son (who was visiting for a few weeks as the lady, who mam visits every week, was just out of hospital - you don't need to know this but it adds flavour to the story!). Anyway, just after they'd left the man on the next table noticed that she'd left her bag on the seat and passed it to us. So we left a note with the assistant and took it with us as we could drop it off on the way home. We continued with our shopping, all the while keeping an eye out for 'O' or her son in case they came back but didn't see them. Then we drove to her house and were surprised that she wasn't in. And, just as I was writing a note for her (saying we'd drop it in later), I realised that neither of us had looked in the handbag to check it did actually belong to our friend. And yes, you've guessed it...it didn't!! Fortunately the lady had a council tax bill in her bag so we had her address (and her purse and two passbooks for the building society - no keys, fortunately!) Cue a dash back to town and a garbled explanation to the stranger's next door neighbour about why we had his neighbour's handbag! Fortunately, as I was halfway through the explanation for the second time (his wife had come out to hear it - let's tell the whole street how daft I am, shall we?!) the lady whose bag we'd inadvertently pinched came home. She was lovely (as was her daughter who'd taken her out for the day!) and wasn't at all cross with us. And she hadn't reported it to the police (phew!) so we didn't have to go there and explain why we'd kidnapped a handbag! Moral of the story? It might feel rude but if you find a handbag you think belongs to a friend check inside first! Oh, and if you move tables in a cafe check you've taken all your bags with you! And don't keep anything with your address on in the same place you keep your keys...I could have been anyone!!! Is that embarrassing enough? (P.S. Great idea for comments, I've been laughing at the other stories! P.P.S. Sorry for the very long comment!)Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552107843211064831.post-45092694164875833072012-02-15T16:29:04.146+00:002012-02-15T16:29:04.146+00:00I'm a devoted follower!I'm a devoted follower!Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552107843211064831.post-90892641700530381742012-02-15T16:28:38.114+00:002012-02-15T16:28:38.114+00:00(Lost my last comment - stupid internet connection...(Lost my last comment - stupid internet connection!)

But I'll have a go at an old story.<br /><br />Last time I lived in Canada I had a winter coat that was lined with fake fur. Only the nap on the fur went the wrong way and sort of grabbed at fabric and pulled it up when you were walking. I was going into work one morning and didn't manage to stop the 'uplift' going on in time and by the time I got into my office and took my coat off in private my skirt had literally being pulled all the way up until it was inside out and up to my arm pits! I did not wear skirts with that coat again.Canadian Abroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358781396739230934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552107843211064831.post-64802833009731999112012-02-14T21:19:37.023+00:002012-02-14T21:19:37.023+00:00Already following..........Already following..........Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148803101055301234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552107843211064831.post-17406770422188853512012-02-14T21:19:04.900+00:002012-02-14T21:19:04.900+00:00Jan deserves a prize for her story.
