This turned out to be more difficult than anticipated. In Greenwich there are signs pointing towards Greenwich high road and Lewisham ( don't know why- the shop is actually off of Creek Road- the opposite direction). Anyway, a 188 bus is supposed to go there, so off I trotted.
I knew it was not far out of the town centre at Greenwich, so when the bus went over creek bridge and I hadn't spotted it, I got off and started to walk back. Oh look- there it is …
It had started to rain quite heavily. No umbrella of course. Then this happened …
I got really wet.
Anyway, finally found my way in and was disappointed in the range of goods on offer- very limited range of bread in particular. Service was dreadful. My cashier was the only one working on the tills, and was dithery and wanted to have long conversations with everyone. The woman in front of me had a trolley full and a small baby and was clearly getting agitated. The store manager decided to open up another till, and asked the woman with the baby to go over.. She unloaded her trolley, then realised (as I already had) that there wasn't actually a cashier there yet. I felt sorry for her as she waited helplessly. I had unloaded mine and was paying when the other cashier finally turned up.
I won't be going there again.
Anyway- I hobbled back out to the main road, only to see my bus sail by. The next bus only went to the university, but it was raining so I got on it and then stupidly changed on to a 386, forgetting that it doesn't stop at the Standard any more. On the walk back round to the standard, I got hit on the head by this…
Yes- autumn has arrived.
