Bonnie and Clyde -simples!
I have always thought that the ideal accessory when out walking alone is either a dog or small child; here however, it appears to be a box of figs. I bought a box from one of the old couples in the market and was walking back to the car with it, when I was accosted by a lady who wanted to know what I was going to do with them.
