Clouseau Strikes Again!

by Peter - 25 August 2009

I suppose it was my duffle bag that was hung over the back of the chair that provoked the incident. True, the space between the displays was particularly tight in that part of the store.

But there is plenty of time for thinking about the future and, of course, BIID raises its ugly head on many occasions – like every five minutes at the moment.
