<p>Everyone should have the opportunity to ‘Smile at a Fruitcake’ every day and over the 28 years spent establishing a small village ‘Booze Shop’ that quickly became known locally as <strong><em>THE OFFY</em></strong> in the village of Holt in North Wales, the author became the more than grateful recipient of many such occasions.</p><p>Occasions of exploding Hedgehog crisps – Sarcastic motorway police officers – Lifelike plastic parrots – Barred for being plastered – Disbelieving Magistrates – Old ladies and school kids – Doctor’s orders – Shop fittings from a chicken shed – “Don’t I look eighteen!” – Shin bruising wheel braces – Never eat yellow snow - “It’s how much!” and many more.</p><p>Occasions that not only encouraged a thousand smiles over those 28 years but also defined a time when ‘Corner Shops’ were not only the hub of the community but a source of true friendship and humour.</p><p>Occasions that are not merely being lost to the faceless supermarkets of today, but occasions that are quickly being denied to our children’s children, and <strong><em>AT THE TIME</em></strong> is a collection of humorous memories dedicated to those times when customers became friends and ‘Fruitcakes’ seemingly came in abundance!</p><p>“It’s merely a little light reading as a result of my making a spectacle of myself.”</p>
