the last week

The last week has been clouded both literally and metaphorically; the weather has been crap and I have had a lot of work to do.  So I have not had a lot of fun.

On Saturday I went shopping to cheer myself, and bought a FAB dress which obviously brightened my day.

However.

One of the security tags was not removed.

This meant that I was wandering about town setting off every shop alarm I encountered.  The Zara security guard went through my bags to see what I'd been nicking, despite the fact that I hadn't even gone into Zara; I just walked past.

This has led me to conclude that security tags are too powerful, and too well hidden if even shop assistants don't manage to remove all of them.  We need a new anti-theft system and I think I have the answer:

Random arrests.  If we keep randomly locking people up, we'll probably catch half the criminals out of luck.  And if  you are arrested by mistake, you get your shopping for FREE.  Win-win.
