People watching is part and parcel of every comedian’s way of life.

Last week, I arrived early to meet up with a friend at a coffee shop in Llanelli. On the next table I witnessed a middle-aged lady get up from her chair to leave. Nothing strange there you might think, but . . .

She had dark glasses and a white stick. Clearly, she looked as if she was visually impaired.

However, as she walked out, she spotted a 5p under the next table, walked over, picked it up and put it in her purse, turned to walk out of the café and knocked over a chair.

Now then, even I hadn’t spotted it. Surely I’m not the only one to see the funny side of this?

This act amused me no end and even as I write I can see the funny side of the incident.

It reminds me of another funny story as I was parked at traffic lights in Ammanford last year.

A lady on her mobility scooter, smoking a cigarette, crossed the road in front of me at quite a fast pace, causing some of her shopping to fall out of her basket.

As I got out of the car to help her, she had already jumped off of her scooter, run around picking up her shopping and returned it to the basket, jumped back on board and scootered off. Cigarette still intact!

I think I witnessed a miracle.
