Joe Baxi and is it a red onion or not?
Do you know Joe Baxi? Thought not neither did I until recently.
And how did I get to know him-well there was entry in the Metro newspaper the other day.
Aparently a 19 year old girl rang directory enquiries looking for a number for a Joe Baxi. After being told that there was no record of such a person she replied 'Well its a cab innit' and was given the number of the local cabinet company who promptly arranged to have a cabinet delivered. When it was the girl asked the driver if he could give her a lift to Bristol Airport!
To what level have we descended to when we have to describe things in slang and I have realised I am in the wrong job if a 19 year old thinks nothing of getting a taxi from London to Bristol.
Went shopping in that supermarket that Mr Oliver works for the other day and one of the things I purchased was a red onion. When I got home I glanced at the receipt it had gone through as a baking potato! A couple of days later I had to visit another supermarket where my red grapes went through as red onions.
What is happening to this world? Think its time I went into hibernation-anybody care to join me?
