20th December 2017
I drove into Taunton again to finish my Christmas shopping. I decided to use the park and ride they operate. I have been using buses a lot recently, and they all suffer from the same problem, misted-up windows. This problem should not exist today with air conditioning, but the upper deck was dripping. Compared to the old buses I traveled on as a child, these have proper mounded trims and ventilation grills, so I would have thought condensation it would have been a thing of the past.
Soon I was wandering the streets looking for gift ideas. In one toy store I noticed that boxes of lego bricks were displayed behind locked glass doors, and the procedure to remove them is as difficult as getting served in a pub.(I am the invisible man). There are many things that are security protected, from CD’s, clothes and razor blades, this adds to a level of distrust I feel whenever I go into a store with a bag. I feel the suspicion hanging over me like a dark crowd, spoiling the shopping experience. I can see how online shopping is less confrontational.
