I needed a couple of new kitchen knives, so I've just popped into town to buy some.
I bought two Taylor's Eye Witness kitchen knives, one a paring knife, the other a chef's knife.
So, why are you so disappointed, Cro, I hear you asking.
Well, no-one asked me if I was over 18. Frankly I was shocked!
Ah, but were you wearing a mask? You know they make you look older.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been it; they couldn't see my youthful charms.
DeleteI have similar experiences all the time and I am 89.
ReplyDeleteRotten, ain't it.
DeleteAs I am in the mood for poetry tonight this put me in the mind of Hilaire Belloc and I am sure he would have ended the story with a line that you should have reported said omission to the appropriate authority.
ReplyDeleteThe Age Police?
DeleteHello from Idaho and found a link to your blog from High Riser.
ReplyDeleteLast time I bought a knife was from a thrift store.
If you have time stop by for a cup of coffee
Hi Dora. I do visit you occasionally, but haven't yet left a comment.
DeleteAre you certain they are not made of plastic?
ReplyDeleteIf they are, I shall be having a word with Mr Taylor.
DeleteYou need to part expose your strongly branded underwear clad buttocks, wear a baseball cap backwards and use the eff word a lot.
ReplyDeleteI knew I was going wrong somewhere!
DeleteHa Ha. I thought you were going to say because the knives weren't sharp enough.
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually used them yet. I've got a good supply of plasters.
Delete"Made in Sheffield" so they should be good.
ReplyDeleteI've been buying Taylor's Eye Witness knives for ages; they're always good.
DeleteYou need a good knife to release the new ones from the packaging.
ReplyDeleteI did. Those packages are a nightmare.
DeleteYou've reached the stage/age of a vintage wine and an aged cheese. Savour it!
ReplyDeleteExactly that; you've described me perfectly.
