Weird maps
I found a superb site with hundreds of maps of the World where the sizes of countries have been changed to reflect other figures, such as population, GDP, aircraft passengers or AIDS.
They’re both good fun and very thought-provoking.
What to do in M&S
One day I was shopping in Marks & Spencer (or Marcos y Espéncer, as I for reasons unknown always think of that shop, as if it was Spanish), I got a chance to take this photo showing the cachier’s side of the checkout. The first sign says:
- Greet the customer
- Thank the customer for waiting
- Make a positive comment about the product being purchased
- Promote the Credit & Loyalty Card
- Pack product(s) with care
- Thank your customer
I love the bit about making a positive comment. Does that mean that if I buy a packet of condoms from a nice old lady, she’ll have to make a comment about how much she likes that brand?!?
The best
I just finished reading the last Harry Potter book.
It’s excellent, definitely the best of the seven books!
