Partaking of coffee at my favourite stop in the city this morning and watching the world go by, I was approached by a young lass who asked me if I could mind her wee dog; a scruffy, but very woosey specimen, 'for a minute' whilst she went into M&S. I said nae bother, so off she went. Nearly twenty minutes later, I did wonder if I'd been 'dog dumped' - !
However, the lass duly returned with a very full carrier bag and off the pair went.
Minded me of a similar occurrence about thirty years ago. I was in Thetford Forest with my girlfriend of the time and a lass on horseback was approaching us. When she got level, she jumped off her horse, handed me the reins, saying 'Can you hold my horse please, I'm busting for a wee - !' and disappeared into the trees - !
I must have a very trusting face - !
