Fargate at lunchtime

Recommended Posts

Today battling down Fargate i counted the groups of people saying "excuse me i'm from..." to be 8!!!!

 

They were

 

Cancer breakthrough

Shelter

Direct Line insurance (or some other slip,trip)

Socialist worker

An animal charity selling badges

The usual market researchers

A bunch of students asking questions

Delta Force Paintballers

 

I'm surprised that there was room for anyone else to actually be on their lunch break.

 

Whilst i dont mind the Shelter people or cancer breakthrough i would like to say to the others

 

"IF I WANT YOUR SERVICES I WILL COME TO YOU!!!!"

 

I walked past one of the insurance people and he was badgering this guy asking "you sure you havent even slipped on a paving slab in the last three years"

 

mind boggling¬!!!

 

it was like wacky races trying to get down withouit been asked

It's all part of the "experience" of shopping in town.

I must have the 'dodging technique' down to a very fine art! I had to go up and down Fargate twice at lunch and wasn't stopped once... :heyhey:

I used to love the marketing people on the end of Norfolk Row who used to look up your nose when they approached you!

I find the 'walkman headphones in, half-scowl on face' approach does the trick. :thumbsup:

I once got stopped on there to look at the packaging for Stones beer. Went into the crypt of the church spent about 20 mins there. Thought here goes free booze as a gift. The lady then apologised and said that they could not give beer away because we were in a church and would a bar of chocolate do.

No Big Issue sellers then? I am surprised ! I normally find " Get that F**#ing clipboard out of my face otherwise you will have to have it surgically removed" tends to work........:hihi:
