The Happy Event now 4 days overdue Huttonian killed time by walking out to get the papers from down town Palmers Green. Just about to enter the shop to select the wishy washy Observer and the fascist Sunday Times (at junior son in law's request)when a 1950 something Silver Cloud Roller glid to a halt on the pavement and Huttonian's progress was monentarily obstructed by the driver, a very fat black lady, getting out to cover the two feet or so from the car door to the newsagent's entrance. The passenger, an even fatter white guy was enjoying a breakfast of several chocolate pastries and talking on a gold plated mobile no doubt enquiring about the news from Perth.She bought two Observers and handed them to her passenger who put down his phone and carefully wrapped the remaining pastries in the Sports Section of one of the Observers. I could not help noticing that Mr Flintoff's visage was now smeared with chocolate.
It should have been egg.
