Magical Woolworths Bags and Why You Shouldn't Use Your Brother-In-Law as a Donkey

Whilst showing El Kenco and Biltong Boy the wonders of Australia, I did of course have to show them the wonders of Woolworths.  They couldn't travel half way round the world and not see the wonders of Woolworths.  Especially my Woolworths.  So, in the absence of Mystical Roo (yes, he's working again), and a car, the three of us took a wander up to Woolworths.  Trolley dude was there and everything!  I was thrilled and made sure to point out trolley dude.  The lady who served us today was actually very nice and polite, which was a total shock to the system.  Also, the fresh food people song was not playing, which I think caused some disappointment.  But still.  We did our shop, loaded up the conveyor belt - which I've always wanted to take a ride on - and then realised we didn't have a car.  Oh bugger.  Yes, we'd loaded up the trolley with loads of treats.  Cans of ginger beer.  Bottles of coke.  Bottles of milk.  Basically a lot of heavy stuff.  Fear not!  I announced that we would be fine.  After all there were three of us.  I may have suggested using Biltong Boy as a kind of donkey but have since revoked this comment.  Anyway, we managed to get all of our shopping home with relative ease.  El Kenco took some of the lighter bags and Biltong Boy and I shared the weight of the bottles by each taking one handle of the specially bought, Woolworths own, carrier bag.  Tidy!  And very handy.  We also established this is an excellent way to get people to move out of your path.  No one's going to question two people and their magic Woolworths bag.  Ha ha!  We did get a number of looks whilst walking back through the town but I thought we were being rather resourceful.  Not everyone has constant access to a car you know.  And in the absence of a car one has to make alternative arrangements!  And if you can't use your brother-in-law as a donkey then you just have to create a chain of people carrying magical Woolworths bags.  And that is all I have to say on the matter.
