Hot Topic Eric.

 Every morning around nine thirty Mum, dad, Old Eric the farm worker and myself sit down to breakfast. Mum usually has toast, although sometimes she has some sort of cereals. I have porridge with added fruit and honey. The fruit is always blueberries from the shops and some soft fruit berries that are from the garden last year and have been frozen in our freezer. At the moment I am having black currants. Dad and Eric have a full English breakfast, which is various things such as eggs, bacon sausages and the rest depends on what we have. It could be mushrooms; it could be beans or whatever else is to hand. So, that is breakfast, and I say this for no particular reason other than I've never said it before and it may be something worth noting.

Anyway, the real reason to bring up breakfast, well, not literally of course. Let's say, during breakfast as that sounds better. We, that's is mum, dad and Eric, I tend to sit and listen, talk mostly about plans for the day, and perhaps a bit of gossip from the village that Eric brings to work with him most days. He's a bit like a local daily news paper.

Today's hot topic was about Eric himself, who had a visit from the police last night. It turns out he was under investigation for indecent exposure! This so amused me, both the thought and the sight of Eric flashing someone was to funny. It brought back thoughts of Mr McCleod and the bread delivery. (15/07/24 Out For Delivery).

Because his jeans are too tight, and he himself is too tight to by a bigger pair he unfastens the button when he gets in the seat of his car to release some pressure while driving. Well he says he had to pick up some milk from the local shop on his way home from work and when he got out of his car all his shirt and vest had come out. So this meant the need to tuck it all back in and it was while doing this someone saw him and reported him, thinking he was flashing them or something. So last night while watching TV he got a knock on the door from the police.

Thankfully it seems that they have taken on board his explanation and have told him to be more careful in future. I expect it was some busy body with nothing to do and too much time to do it in. It livened up breakfast chitchat that's for sure.
