Waiting in a queue at the newsagents for the latest Sunday read of the Torygraph when suddenly an argument kicked off between the proprietor and a whining customer complaining about £1.50 on his bill.
Suddenly, tills were slammed shut, voices raised, swearing and accusations and then the customer and proprietor were locked in a childish stalemate as the queue grew longer and more impatient.
The whinger turned around and said "I'm not moving, I'll stay all day here until you sort it out" and started ranting and swearing.
I was just about to step forward and intervene when this blue-rinse old lady unleashed a barage of blows to this whinger shouting "we've got jobs to do you selfish b'stard", raining hit upon hit with her brolly.
I've never laughed so much in all my life. Problem solved, man moved aside and the queue was serviced in an orderly fashion.
Gawd bless 'em...
