Cycle Shop
In the late sixties (I would have been around 5 or 6 years old) I used to go to Safeways (somewhere on the south side of Glasgow) to watch my mum do the shopping and to have a burger and milkshake at the snack bar. A little later we did a project on the Romans at school which featured mosaics. The only example of a real mosaic that the class might have seen, that the teacher could come up with, was the big Safeways "S" on the wall of the shop.
In the seventies I lived in Harrogate and used to pedal to the construction site of the new Conference Centre and Morrisons shop to watch the cranes and to be amazed at the speed of progress, (despite having no idea what was being built). Today the last four Safeways branches will be reopened as Morrisons.
I'm sure there is a moral in this tale, particularly as it is my birthday and I like Taoism.

The moral of the story is to always make sure that Tess co-operates to find the safe way home while the Knights of the green shield stamp and shout about there being more reasons to wait for the rose that one 'as da 'ave.
Today is the day when the dirty long haired layabout comes clean.
Do I salute your profound wisdom? Is DFS having a sale?
