A funny thing happened to me yesterday. I had just collected the four Japanese Farmstay students and had stopped off at the shops for some groceries. On the way back to the parking spot, I stopped at the car, positioned the trolley so it didn’t run off and opened the driver’s door. As I opened the door I noticed a box of cigarettes in the console. The rest was the same as my car. Suddenly I’d realised I’d open the wrong car door. I didn’t recall the central locking sound that usually happens as you unlock which was further reason to know this was not the right car. The students and I got a surprise. I closed the door quickly and looked further up the row of cars parked. Sure enough there was another dune coloured SUV parked only two spaces up. Isn’t it a great country we live in when people feel safe enough to leave their car open as they run into the shops? The rightful owner must have been right behind and seen the whole thing happen to us as she pulled out of the parking lot ahead of us none too worried about what had just happened.
