In a newly-opened multinational supermarket I buy bananas, kiwi fruit and milk. The lady behind the check-out seems approachable and asks nicely if I have a clubcard but, to my question, she laughs and claims not to have one.
Instead I turn to the girl behind me. She has long dark hair and a basket full of groceries. I explain myself. 'Aah', she says. 'That's nice'. She gives me an answer.
'As in Home and Away?' I ask. 'As in the Scottish island', she replies. I ask if she is Scottish. 'No', she says, 'but my mum obviously liked the name and she just stole it'.
