In a shopping centre between Snappysnaps and Poundland, a girl tries to hand me a leaflet about a charity that help people in crisis. I tell her that I already donate via direct debit each month. She gives me a high-five. She is wearing gloves.
I take advantage of the goodwill to ask my question. She doesn't have one but turns to her colleague who is standing by the stall. He looks bored and is wearing a black overcoat underneath which peaks a red tie. He smiles. 'Why do you want to know that?' he asks. I explain. He gives me an answer. 'After Thundercats?' I ask (although I remember later that I was thinking of Lion o). 'After Ritchie', he replies.
I thank them for their help. 'You've made my day with that question', says the girl and I receive a second gloved high-five.
