Shoplifters of the world unite and takeover...

mugshot.jpgIt turns out that I am not a shoplifter after all! This has obviously come as welcome news to all who know me, it's just shame I didn't learn this before I decided to reveal all on air about what is being referred to by my the team as my incident.

As last night's theme was shopping I thought I should share my shoplifting shame. Mmm, maybe my lawyer would not have agreed.

Yesterday morning I had been shopping and when I took the various items to the till, the girl coughed politely and asked if there was anything else. I was a bit mystified by the question but said no. She then said that she thought she saw something accidentally drop off the counter. "Not that I can see" said I confidently.

Anyway, it was only when I got back to work did I find a pair of gloves with wee plastic hook at the end had somehow attached themselves to my big woolly scarf. Mortified doesn't go halfway to explaining how I felt. Which is why I had to fess up to my nicking of the gloves on air.

However, it was only when I got home and checked the receipt that I realised I had paid for them after all and they had only became attached when I bent down to get something out of the boot of the car. So - the upshot is I am not a tea-leaf after all.

Never did I think I would say this, but 'Winona Ryder I know just how you feel!'
