I was in Next today buying a deadly night shade.
The lady in front of me was being invited to enter a competition to win a holiday in Bali. She started to fill in the entry form and then asked if she really had to provide her email address.
The assistant (Zbigniew) told her yes, but assured her they would only use the address to send her promotional information about once a week.
"For the rest of your life", I chipped in, helpfully.
"Yes", she agreed, adding "And I already get enough emails about viagra and sex aids".
"Viagra is a sex aid", I chipped in, helpfully.
She told Zbigniew that she wouldn't bother with the competition.
He replied, "You could always get another email address".
After she'd gone he told me that he'd only been joking with the other email address idea. I told him I had thought that, but had only been about 75% sure.
It's just a hunch but I suspect that Zbigniew is wasted in the Home Department at Next.

Why was he working in Next in the first place? Did things go badly down hill in the composing department after Krzysztof Kieslowski bought the farm?
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately I'm unable to respond due to a lack of having any idea what it is that you mean.
Zbigniew Presnier - the fella who did the music for the Three Colours trilogy of fillums. There can't be more than one Zbigniew in the world shoorely. It's so obviously a made up name, likes.
Zbigniew Boniek, best Polish footballer ever. Zbigniew is a very common name in Poland and by extension the rest of Western Yerp.
Quite right Jill, you tell him.
Does Mrs Musters know you steal her blogger id to make witty ripostes??
And does your friend Brian realise you've stolen a picture he took of you in a pub in Clifden to ue as your profile pic?
Nice attempt at compressing it to make you look thin btw.
