“Hi mate, got these in a size 9”

“Gis ye car keys and I’ll tell you”

I should probably explain that part of my job is cutting keys. So they pretty much have no choice in handing them over

before they changed the definition of key worker

So what do they call your job now then?

I do some volunteer work in a charity shop/warehouse which sells second hand stuff and some of the stuff we get brought in is just hilarious tbh. Everything from dirty clothes (yes i do mean that kind of dirty) to MTB's worth thousands of pounds that look like they have never been ridden to old antiques and rare books including recently a box which was full of Oswald Mosley Fascist type stuff to full on old skool Nazi propaganda. Get some very interesting characters in the shop as well.

Amongst my other many ways of making a living, I spent some time running a Radio Shack in the inner city - this was about 1988-89 or so. My favorite customer was a guy known by all as "Bass The Nation". He had an old Buick hatchback that was a life support system for all the amplified power you could summon out of twelve volts, and a set of fifteens in the hatch. My best customer. He was like a master of destructive testing for the Tandy Corporation. We kept a corner of inventory just to keep old BTN running. If you saw him before you heard him, you knew something was not right.

Legend.
