Having taken the boy to
Darlington for his last AS exam I stayed in town for a mooch round which
included a Primark purchase, and as I was heading for the exit the store PA
announced the name of a member of staff who had this day completed 23 years’
service and asked that we all give her three cheers; the first cheer was silent
as customers processed this unconventional request, the second was muted but
audible, and the third was almost half-hearted, more audible was the comment that came from the security guard as I left – “23 years, bloody hell, you’d get less
for manslaughter”.
