It's the little things

Anyone that has read more than one post on this site will know that I like to have a moan. I don't think I am a such grumpy chap, it's just that I tend to observe the world and it's inhabitants from a slightly skewed angle. That's my excuse and hot dang, I'm sticking to it. Anyway, on with the moan...

On my travels in this morning I noticed something that has always annoyed me. There was a grubby carpet shop in Bagshot with a sign outside 'Est 1962'. So effin what? To me that reads 'Been systematically ripping you off for 45 years and counting'. I fail to see how this is a selling point.

I've also noticed signs outside many restaurants* that read 'Fully air-conditioned'. I mean, is this really a clincher when you are deciding where to eat? I'm starving, there are two restaurants next door to each other, one is overly expensive, bad service, shit food, but lookey here, it's fully air-conditioned, it's got my business. Or it's a hot day, I need to cool off. I won't park off in the shade and have a can of Lilt, I'll find an eatery that has air conditioning. Kerazee stuff.
