Last night just before we went into rehearsals we decided to head to the supermarket to get a bite to eat. It was a kinda cold night so i was all wrapped up in hoodie/jacket/scarf etc. Anyway i decided to opt for the healthy option of a tuna salad and a fruit smoothie and while i was up at the counter trying to pay for my dinner i heard a shout from behind me. It was a burly security guard shouting at me to take my hood down, at first i had no idea what the hell he was going on about so he then decided to shout louder. At one point i wondered whether i had taken a brain storm and maybe pulled a gun out of my pocket and just decided to hold the shop up, luckily i hadn't. But the next time i might just! It then clicked - you're not allowed to wear your hood up in a shop. Goodness, what's our country coming to? I couldn't believe it, i was buying smoothie for %^&*@ sake, i was very close to telling the security guard to shove the tuna salad where the sun don't shine but i was hungry and i value my teeth...Where does it all stop? So if when Tom Weir was alive and had he walked in to the supermarket with his big wooly hat would they have asked him to leave? The reason Tom Weirs on my mind is that the smoothie i bought had a wee wooly bonnet on it, i think it must be a christmas/winter promotion type idea. I liked the idea and the smoothie was great, here's to hoodies...
