Your Earwiggings:

Hidden Compliment?

The scene: a pavement 'cafe' outside a burger stand on the Moor in Sheffield A lady wearing an alpine print fleece jacket is sat at a table when Woman 1 approaches:

Woman 1: I hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get your jacket from?

Woman 2 (preening): Ooh, it were from an advert in t'back of one of Sunday papers. Why? do you like it?

Woman 1: No, not really, but me mam wants one.

It is at this point I had to leave, before I dropped my coffee laughing!
