As I reached the till, eggs in hand, a rather nice unbleached cotton bag was placed in front of me. “For you,” I was told.

“My computer’s been offline for some time,” she continued. “I finally got it working again and did a Google search on the shop…”
Sunrise Wholefoods
It appears that my blog entry, Carrier Bag Etiquette, is on the second page.
*Cough*
It’s been quite a while since I last blushed.
I’ve suspected for some time that blogging under my own identity has the potential for embarrassing encounters.
Did I mention what wonderful people they are in Sunrise Wholefoods? Great selection of products, personal service and infinitely better value than Tesco.
Nice bags too.
hahahaha that is funny.
ReplyDeleteVery Funny! Soon you’ll have people asking for your autograph. Hey look over there, “it’s the bag guy”:)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should start writing about Castle Douglas businesses on your blog to see how much free stuff you can get.
Ooops. That's funny. Fear of discovery is a major reason why I don't blog under my name.
ReplyDeleteQuinn :)
ReplyDeleteBStrong - now there's an idea!
Sassy Sundry - welcome to my ramblings and thank you for taking the time to comment :)
I toyed with the idea of creating a false identity, but in the end I figured it was too much like hard work. If you're going to write about your life, sooner or later you going to give away so many clues about who you are, your family set up, where you live and work etc that the anonymity becomes more or less pointless.
Maybe it's easier because I'm self employed though. I admit it would be harder if I was commenting about work colleagues
I blog anonymously about colleagues all the time. It's the only thing stopping me from killing them.
ReplyDeleteFoot Eater - sounds like you're in the wrong job
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks for putting a smile on my face on this rainy, dark day :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're becoming quite a celeb ;) God knows where your influence might lead Scotland one day?
"It all started with a grocery bag, but today Mr Ayers is one of Scotland's most influential and powerful decisionmakers..."
The introduction to a feature on you in the Financial Times...?
I'm thinking big today.
Hello Bearded One,
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you: what is the best thing to come out of a box of cheap wine?
Answer: The courage to saw out your spine.
Your friend,
International Chirp Chirp
Eva - do you get celeb status for eating humble pie?
ReplyDeleteInternational Chirp Chirp - either I'm being slow or you're being obscure, either way you'll have to be a bit clearer as I'm not sure whether you're complimenting or insulting me.
Hahahahah...
ReplyDeleteSo...
You are left
Holding
the
Bag!!!!
haha :)
ReplyDeleteThis totally reminds me of your Anonymous Blog post from last year.
ReplyDeleteIt was then that you first expressed remorse over your decision to forgo anonymity. If you could do it all over again, would you create a fake name and claim to be a ninja?
Probably not a ninja... but a robot has potential, for sure
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! It's funny how things come full circle, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteTrue, true...
