"She smells of lemons!"
From time to time a rather confused looking gentleman will come into the shop, bewildered by the array of bottles in front of him and it's pretty obvious to us that he's been sent in by his other half to pick something up. I really don't know why, but some men seem a tad uncomfortable in shops like ours. Well it happened again today.
A very friendly looking biker turned up about half an hour ago and just stood in front of the display counters looking a bit lost. So I asked if I could help him with anything and if, perhaps, he was picking something up for someone? He fixed me with a look of touching gratitude and blurted out "She smells of lemons, that's all I know!".
So Sir, that'll be the Geranium & Lemon Cream Dream then won't it? All the time I was putting it in a bag for him (after he'd recognised the jar of course) he was telling me how he'd been given VERY clear instructions on what to buy and how it had all just gone out of his head the minute he left the house. I don't think it's just me, I really do recognise that scenario. Dear of him....

It's a great way to ensure he doesn't get sent out for shopping isn't it really? Clever boy that he is....
I saw the couple at the heart of all this discussion on Friday night (small town see?, well village actually, I saw them at our new local) and told them we'd been talking about them. He was very sweet about it, as was his partner - and yes, she did get the right cream, happily.
And yes, I've had a reply from Lafe and I've posted it in full so you can see what he has to say - hope it helps to clear a few things up for us all.
