Foxes that lunch!

And so it is Friday... time to relax at the end of another week.  Not for us, spare a thought for us poor students - nope we're not partying - we're working! Sorry, enough of the 'woe is I stuff' let's get down to the real deal...

Lunch is normally a quiet affair, eating our pre-clinged, somewhat soggy sarnies, and exchanging meaningless banter whilst enjoying timeout from brain expansion.  Today we were joined by one of our more 'mature' friends - who always has a fun story...

She'd been away to France last week with a group of 'girlies' and, whilst waiting for a train, they'd decided to use one of those automatic public toilets.  You know the ones where you pay to get in and it tells you if you haven't flushed the toilet in 15 minutes you will die - or worse the door will open and you will be exposed to the world! Anyway, so first lady uses the loo - no problem out she comes, relaxed and relieved, and holds the door open for second lady to enter (here is the fatal mistake). Second lady enters. A few minutes pass, and a nice orderly queue begins to form, but no sign of lady number two.  Her friends begin to hear a faint tapping noise and realise it's coming from inside the toilet, they manage to get the door open and out comes second lady, looking rather bedraggled and smelling of disinfectant - much to the amusement of the queue. It transpires that when she  had sat down, she was plunged into darkness but thought 'well, I know where everything is I'll continue'. What she was not prepared for was the disinfectant shower which projected from the walls. The moral of the story - always pay to use the loo - it's worth it to not smell of eau de pine fresh.

So following the anecdotal story we continue to chat, moving onto a discussion about a farm cafe breakfast and just as our friend says 'they open early for shooting parties' in walks a fox! You couldn't write this, even if you tried.  He was a rather dapper fox, in a pin striped suit, he sat at the next table and cool as you like, as though it was the most normal thing in the world, ordered a coffee! He was then joined by an 'arty' type - I suppose this could explain the irregularity of the situation.  Or is it only irregular because we have not expanded our mind enough to make it acceptable? That's one for the philosophical amongst you.

Anyway enough about our fun filled day...
