In Glasgow this morning

As you'll no doubt be aware since my retirement (still loving it) I've taken a wee courier job (still loving it too) that takes me through to the weege once a week.

You may recall my tale of the auld wifie mooning at a wailing police car as it sped by.

This morning I was too early to collect as I dropped off packages near Glasgow Green so said I'd call back in an hour after my other drops.

Well they went quicker than expected so I grabbed a take away bite to eat and stopped my wee white van round the corner from the pick up, beside Glasgow Green and had a break.

Done that and as I'm on the phone to the pick up saying I'd be 5 minutes this rather attractive girl knocks on the window, no electric windows so I'm gesticulating I'm on the phone and she gesticulates back and walks off. What a friendly girl I thought, nice smile ... nice bum in these tight jeans, I thought.

Now in my previous job I used to do meetings, presentations, workshops and conferences, nationally and in the weege. A lot of young ladies attended these, including many from through there, and now and again I'm stopped in the street "Are you the handsome chap that was at the xxxxxxxx?" "I am indeed ... " and then exchange pleasantries. It's nice to be nice and chat away and all that.

Now off the phone I see she's not to far ahead in the direction I'm going so I reach across, lower the window and set off in pursuit.

"Hello!" I shout "Do I know you?"

"Eh no" she replies in a lovely soft voice "I thought you might be interested in doing some business?"

A second or two till realisation dawned then somewhat taken aback by this kind offer "Eh no" I said in the deapest manly voice I could muster. "I think there's been a misunderstanding!"

Oh how we laughed.
 
How very random.... That a lassie should be needing some courier work doing just as a courier van pulled up beside her! You should have offered to deliver her package for nowt Jack! That's such serendipity !

Things must have changed since I worked in an office near there at Glasgow Cross. The working wummun were more like creatures of the night than ladies of the night back then.
