We were in a cafe having morning coffee yesterday at 11. They had signs everywhere saying they were going to do the two minutes thing, then on time, a staff member stepped forward made a loud announcement.
Everyone fell silent, apart from the table next to us. I'd imagined it was going to be the tiny kids making the noise - well, they carried on as they had been, but the adults just carried on chatting too.
I couldn't decide whether it was deliberate or they were just so wrapped up in their talk of Cousin Sue and whether she looked nice in that dress last week that it passed them by, but they didn't twig for the whole thing, not even when the same staff member said loudly "thank you very much" at the end.
But I guess in the scheme of things we just need to be grateful to the people who preserved our way of life such that we are blinking well able to sit in a coffee shop having buns on a Sunday, and that Cousin Sue has a nice dress at all.
