Hi Garry - hope you and the missus are well.

I suppose he's about 20, normal looking, but he is so over the top in his pleasantries he's completely cleared the German trenches in a single bound and is having tea with the Kaiser, who is being informed it is absolutely lovely tea and asked "isn't it a fine day today, Sir" and "does he think he'll require more sugar today or will he be satisfied with two spoons".

It does brighten your day if you're in the mood. Takes you back the first time, and then you start pissing yourself laughing.

What it must be like living around him, or being his work colleague, God only knows.

Is he responsible for keeping the products clean in the glazing dept?

Yep, then put their hand out like a beggar once they've rung it in, whilst still chatting to their mate, without telling you how much it is. I give them 10p when they do that.

Anyone been served by the guy in the post office at the bottom of Cotham Hill ? He's... different.
