Andorra

What can one say? Its a frontier town entirely
composed of shops all selling the same things,
all round about the same prices as Ed's or Super U.*
On the other hand, the mountains are as big as they
come and the bus trip a living comedy strip.

Yesterday we were over
subscribed. You have to book and there nine people too many.

The lady from Grocelles announced that the guilty ones had to own up or we'd sit there till they did.

Silence.

So she took out her list and came down checking names. Nasty moment when we thought I had bought in one extra but diligent re-reading of the list made all well.
The unlisted ones claimed to have phoned in and booked and that the error was on the part of the admin. Much shouting ensued and a refusal to budge followed.
Eventually - full - we left late and then had to turn
away people who had booked at Fa, Lavenet and points
en route.

Lady from Grocelle gave the coach a strict talking-to
which amounted to instructions not to phone Grocelle
staff at home but only at the office and after that she
calmed down.

It is a brilliant day out. If you want to book for next month,
phone 0468 74 09 32

*except for the booze and the fags which are toxicly cheap.
