So, a bookseller? he says.
Yeush, I say.
You have a bookshop?
Yeush, I say
How is that these days?
Ishokauy, I say.
What with everybody switching over to electronic devices.
Owsh, I say
Everthing going digital, he says.
Owsh, I say again.
He pokes around some more.
I mean, how is that going to impact on your business? Do you have a strategy for it?
Shubb, I say.
It is fucking agony.
So long as he didn't ask "Is it safe? Is it safe?" Or is it only me who has Laurence Olivier for a dentist?

I'm okay, I have a female dentist, but she does tell me off if she sees I have trainers on and no socks.

Martin, I don't know about you, but I think I would be worried about a dentist who takes too much interest in my feet.
Laura, if you find a site where I can download a free gold crown I would be grateful. I don't mind looking like Goldie, but I think it's unlikely that I'll ever be an alternative *national treasure*.

Everyone's an expert, eh? I blame the X Factor, it has validated the nation.
