She is possibly the poshest lady I have ever spoken to, she pulls her glasses, which are on a string of, up over her nose and stares at us, when Tim asks her “Do you sell music in here, love?”. …….which is why Badger and I are standing inside a small room about to ask this lady if they sell CDs. TSOBO Rule #3 was of course, ‘Never walk past a Charity Shop if its Open’
TSOBO Rule #12 was ‘Never shop in Tesco (unless you have to)’ and TSOBO Rule #17 ‘Keep Left (always)’. TSOBO Rule #28 for instance was ‘Never Leave the Biscuit Barrell empty’. The manifesto contained at the end 62 rules, which, if followed, would make your life easier and much more enriched. Some of you may remember that when Badger, KT and I were writing The Sound of Being Ok Blog (TSOBO) we drew up a manifesto, which we tried wherever we could to put it to the test-o.
We have ambled on in expecting to find a treasure trove of CDs and vinyl but find ourselves face to face with a Margaret Thatcher look alike who is a wearing twin set and pearls and is enjoying Radio 3 in the background. It clearly stated ‘Rowcroft Hospice Charity…’ on the front of the shop. Essentially Badger and I have walked into a ladies dress boutique thinking that it was a charity shop. We are to be honest a little out of place. The ladies are looking at Badger and I as if we are weirdos. #5b bought – Rowcroft Hospice Boutique, Wellswood, Torquay for £1 #5a bought – Rowcroft Hospice Boutique, Wellswood, Torquay for £1. #5b – Tonight – Franz Ferdinand (Domino Records, 2009) #5a – Ego Tripping At The Gates of Hell – The Flaming Lips (Warner Bros, 2003)
