Nagging Doubts
There's always that nagging doubt isn't there? The nagging
doubt that they just won't get it.
I went to the Post Office yesterday, the small local one round
the corner, to draw a relatively large amount of money out of my
account. Whilst in the queue, I saw a packet of refill
cartridges going cheap. Half-price. Which in consequence meant
it was around 50p to keep an ink pen running for a good year or
so.
Thinking they might come in handy, I procured some and when I
