caddymanThe world is going mad.
Or at least there has been some kindof sea change and I've only jut become aware of it.
I've been wearing my Grandad's old watch for the past year or so because I kept forgetting to put my other watch in my pocket and take it in to get a new battery fitted. This morning, however, I noticed the strap on Grandad's watch fraying so it spurred me into digging out what is supposed to be my main watch and put it in my pocket ready.
So I get into Victoria and detour up to the plaza where I know there is a Samuel's jewelers. So far so good.
And lo, as the chap is fitting the new battery, he is also trying to sell me insurance. And me not even having had a cup of coffee. All my main defence systems were inoperative through caffeine deprivation, so I had to fall back on 'Er... I think I got it insured when I bought it...' although I'm reasonably sure I didn't. It's only a cheap £30 jobbie after all.
Nonetheless, it shouldn't be allowed. I only wanted a battery.
Apparently that's insured, too.
