Excuses

We all make excuses as part of our daily life. We are late...excuse. We forgot to feed the cat...excuse. We forgot to water the plants...excuse ... and so forth. Then there is the extraordinary excuse... leaves on the line for the late train, for example.

On Saturday 14th Nov. the weather was vile. No Guardian newspaper was delivered to my local newsagent. He apologises in spite of the fact that there was nothing that he could do about it. When I asked what happened, he said "It's the weather, call back in half an hour". Half an hour later the paper had been delivered but without the magazine. He explained this was due to the rain.

A young friend of mine (after a hard night) phoned his boss next morning and explained that he would not be at work as he was unable to find his shoes!
