well.. not much of a surprise really

Isn't it

Never been to this store before - but it resembles my grandpa's coop with goods from fine sugar and lace to wellies and big tyres.

Or is that tires?

Quite nice, isn't it?
And I happen to know they sell really fine here.

I thought every GOR has a shop like this.. well.. definitely every Danish GOR?

*Scrutinises the shelves with coffee*

*Turns around and notices co-costumers*

*Waves, as she hasn't had yet and is not sure, how words will come out*

*Goes to Outdoor Bar clutching a potent mocca - and as an afterthought raids one of the shelves on her way*

Glad to be of service

*follows to taste the outcomes*

...

* opens a bottle beer .. one for on the road .. and moves towards the bar *

*quietly restocks shelves and fridge*

*knock knock* SHOP!!




nobody in

* grabs a crate of red wine *

* writes a note : "I took a crate of wine, love, Babette" *
* "p.s. off to the summerhouse" *

*shop-owner wakes up and looks over the counter to see what's going on*:

*shop owner points to the statute on virtual payments in the stores:

If you're completely out of all sorts of monetary instruments,
a warm friendly may get you a credit

notices that removal of one crate of hardly made a dent in the available supply and promptly goes back to sleep*

* rum-mages through stock of rum bottles *

*rummages around to find something "a bit more substantial" than the served at the nearby Summerhouse right now*


Ahhhh *disappears out the door with a slightly dusty cardboard box with a convenient handle on top*

*wakes up and notices a box of bag is missing *

Enters shop.
Looks around.
Elloooooo, anyone here?

Waits *impatiently*

Gets a few packets of crisps and leaves the appropriet money on the counter.

Runs home

, I've actually been to this store before, and cannot remember.

*Seriously *

Cannot remember having been here
