I wasn't teaching yesterday so I decided to take a bus out to the village of Steyning, have a look around and go for a walk onthe South Downs.
Two men in the pub complained firstly about the weather and then how they could no longer have a cigarette with their pints. The old lady in the charity shop said Steyning had been plastic bag free for a year and she was sick of having arguments with customers about it. While I was waiting a customer asked for a plastic bag and was angry when she couldn't get one. "What if it rains" she moaned.
On the bus a man moaned that now the clocks were turned back he couldn't stay on his allotment later than 4pm.
Someone told me that in England you are never more than seven feet away from a rat.
What a delightfully cheery place! Whoever said that poms were a bunch of moaners were so mistaken.
