BUY SOME CHOPS BEFORE YOU GO-GO

I still don't get it.

What is with the buchers stall on Churchill Way carpark on a Saturday?
Does he really need a microphone/Bobby Brown head set? S'pose it is his prerogative,(had to spell check that one!) I wonder if he is wearing white cycling shorts under his red and white stripey apron?

Every Saturday on my way back from the bank (where every week I ignore Selina and she ignores me) he is there on the car park. You hear him before you see him, with his "bang in the lamb" and his "you look like a thigh man".

Today he had the biggest audience I have seen yet. 4 deep.It took me back to that time I went to South Park for the Radio One Roadshow with Peter Powell and Wham! They had a white van thing too.I only got to see them from a distance but to be honest I was more impressed with the big inflatable tube thing I had.

When was that anyway?

I was well young. Think it was about the time the Pope came over and we all had those yellow and white striped periscope things with the mirrors in them - never knew why I had one, I never even went to where he was.

I came across an old school book of mine from that time. I was in Infant 3 so I think that made me 6. Remember those diary books you had to fill in in the morning at primary school? Mine is hilarious. I remember that either you got to write something yourself or copy what the teacher had written on the blackboard. If you didnt know this and you didnt know I went to a catholic school then you would think I had a bizarre pope obsession as everyother entry is about the Pope. The Pope was big news at St Edwards in 1980whatever.

I wonder where I put it? I might put a few of my favourites up if I can find it.
