Profession

"You look very professional - do you work here?" 

The Gorse Fox did a double take - "Who me?"

"Yes, do you work here?"

The Gorse Fox had been standing near the entrance to the new IKEA at Southampton awaiting the Silver Vixen and Urban-cub who were busy checking that IKEA plumbing was up to scratch. He had picked up a pencil and a tape measure and it would seem that that is sufficient to make hime look professional. GF explaine he was just waiting for someone - and pointed out the tape measures.

His protaganist picked up a tape measure and put it round his neck and grabbed a pencil. With a smile he said "Ok, I'll take over now" and the Gorse Fox moved away with a grin (It's nice to find someone with a sense of humour).

The trip to IKEA had two objectives - to look round the new store and to find some stuff for the GF's study. The trip was a success on both counts and several hundred hours later we emerged, blinking back into the light. Food was the next priority and after looking about we stopped at a pub called The Quayside. Ciabattas, wings, ribs, chips, tuna, bacon and so forth were laid out in front of us and soon we were satisfied.

Finally we had to head into the town centre to find Maplins and try to get a product that would improve the TV signal around the house. 

A nice day off was somewhat ruined however by the ingress of work issues into the day
