Black Friday weekend came and went and, personally, I saved a small fortune.

Oh yes, I didn’t go near a shop. And there you have it.

Having said that, I did witness a middle-aged man wearing tracksuit bottoms, brown leather shoes and a duffle coat struggling to get a 55-inch flat screen TV into the back of a taxi that was waiting outside a Swansea Argos store.

The gentleman in question was arguing with the taxi driver and insisting that the said item would fit and eventually it did, but getting it back out in one piece could be another story.

Meanwhile, the wife was furious due to the fact that her husband now insisted that she caught the bus home as clearly there was no room for her in the taxi.

In her temper she screamed “That’s it, I’m off to play bingo and you can stuff the TV where the sun doesn’t shine, you selfish pig”.

Clearly, not an ideal way to start the festive season and I’m sure they are not alone.

Too often, I find myself witnessing unhygienic actions in public toilets.

Not that I make a habit of hanging around in such places, but when nature calls, needs must.

It’s now very common to witness men leaving the toilets in pubs, cafes and restaurants without washing their hands.

I can’t speak for the ladies, as for me observing such activities in ladies toilets brings with it consequences and a warning that I took onboard immediately.

Moving on . . .

Recently, I saw a man leaving a pub toilet without washing his hands; he then went on to share a bowl of crisps with his partner.

It would be so funny if he was reading this . . . hang on…. was it you?

In supermarkets, I’ve witnessed men return to their shopping without washing their hands after visiting the toilet.

What’s the hurry? It takes less than a minute and would prevent germs from spreading and people becoming ill.

Mark my words, the next step will be hygiene police employed at all public places.

OK, maybe a slight exaggeration but possibly not a bad idea!
