I was too....in my lingerie.

well I'm really glad they didn't steal you or else who would be cool enough and sexy enough to show us all her moves!

I just knew it - people get stollen when they sleep near the door - have you changed sides?

Michael Alexander · August 22, 2008, 09:19:34 PM

This is starting to sound like a Calvin and Hobbes Novel.......

Is that shop open yet? Geez! I need some milk and I'd like a fresh loaf, also a jar of lime marmalade........come on! come on! come on! move it! move it! - open that door and let me in........

No use, Rhona, I've tried that before! Didn't work, tried to knock on the Spar door at 5 am, but for some unknown reason, there was no MIke!

I tell you what Bertie; it's as hard to get good staff these days..........can you imagine having soooo much money, you can afford to stay in bed and miss the early moring trade

get up and let the customers in - no computer number with us, just hard cold cash.........

Yup, and I wanted to get stuff to bake a nice bread for our friends, now I'll just have to give them rusks!
See later!

You should try the Spar in Secunda then. Very clever marketing strategy, they open at 6am Mondays to Sundays. The shop is on one of the busiest morning routes, and by 6:30 am the place is packed with customers. They always catch the morning Sasol traffic as well as the tannies taking their kids to school. Then theres also the odd school kids stocking up with Chesterfields for first break. Very clever tactic, send one of those beggers from the car park in to buy their smokes for them...brings back memories of of my youth... 202

Hey - some of have a life as well!!!!!!

It wasn't that many years ago that the shop closed on a Saturday afternoon and only opened on a Monday morning. Now if we close for one day there is panic buying! I just love the shop on the 24th of December as we close for 2 days - the queue is unbelievable and you see the same people coming back 3 times! Lucky for us we always have the keys if we need anything!

Michele. Not to worry, Carl gave me a beer for breakfast in the bush pub!

Michele Alexander (Voden) · August 23, 2008, 06:29:08 AM

What a good example to set! From you of all people!

Speaking about Spar, I need to move my

and get going - shouldn't be sitting here surfing the net!

Have a good day all, see you later!

bye_bye

And you our health advisor tch! tch! tch! oh the shame

Bertie Horak · August 24, 2008, 04:51:57 PM

You've just given me an idea for a new topic on the Health Board: "BEER - THE HEALTHY DRINK" I bet I'll be able to make it look that way!!!! - Use a few big words, who knows, next day everybody has a beer for their health (for brekkies)! He-He!
