Shopping with MissM


'so...this man came in and he wanted to buy a fedora and I didn't know what a fedora was so I said "I will just check if we have any in stock" and then I went into the stock room and asked what it was. Then I came out and gave him one to try on. He asked me what I thought and I said "It matches the inside of your Barbour perfectly" and he was very pleased but then he said "You don't think it is too Town for the Country?" and I said "Oh no! It is the perfect hat for the weekend when you want to be smart in the Country." Then he said "Is it the right size? Are you sure it is not too small?" And I said "Can I suggest that you take two steps back from the mirror so that you get the full effect?" And he did and he was delighted. I think that he must have been short sighted but anyway he was so pleased that he wanted to wear it right away.'

MrsM suspects that the Inuit people would enjoy buying ice from MissM.
