Oh I am so disappointed! I missed out an a prank carried out not too far away from where I live, which is right up my street!
A local man decided to liven up a cold and dreary Saturday by turning up at his local Supermarket wearing nothing but a pair of rather unflattering purple shorts and one of those fleecy hats with the ear flaps.
The reason for his visit? He wanted to get the shoppers dancing, He had trundled in a large sound system with a miniature disco ball which projected coloured lights, and set himself up in one of the aisles.
He was just drawing a bit of a crowd with UB40 and Paco Banton blaring out ‘Baby Come Back’ to get them warmed up when a grumpy looking Security Guard approached him.
Undeterred, he whipped out his microphone and asked to be left alone to get on with the show. This was not going to happen, he was asked to leave the store. Despite his protestations, to leave his stuff alone, the Security Guard was getting ready to manhandle ‘DiscoBoy (as he likes to be known) and his gear out.
Defeated, DiscoBoy left the building, and it was back to business as usual. What a shame. He didn’t even get to show off his dance moves!
I think they should have left him alone for a while to cheer people up…what about you?
Your description of this guy cracked me up! The supermarkets over there seem to be pretty happening places: first people are eating daffodils, and now they’re dancing in purple shorts and fleecy hats! I think I want to move to England. Our supermarkets are boring compared to yours. 😉

Ha Ha! Yes I know we can’t tell the difference between a daffy and an onion, tragic isn’t it?! I was gutted that Discoboy didn’t come to our local supermarket, I would have enjoyed it, Bless him with those shorts…. must have been a bit nippy around the vitals!

I guess the daffodil bulbs kind of resemble onions–probably a good idea to keep them far apart. I’m sorry you missed Discoboy. His outfit and dancing sounded like a hoot! Maybe he’ll be back when it warms up a bit. 😉

My first thought is “Ick!”. I don’t want a shirtless man anywhere near I’m buying my food. But maybe it would help me buy less and lose weight?? 😉

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
