I was in Marks & Spencer in Keighley at lunchtime today picking up a sandwich and overheard a short but glorious exchange between an elderly lady and a checkout girl.
The lady shopper had just paid for her handful of purchases and the girl at the till asked her what she wanted to put them into.
"I can give you a small bag for free, a bigger bag for 5p or a Bag for Life which costs a bit more," the checkout girl explained.
"I'm 84, love," replied the elderly lady firmly but politely. "What would I want with a Bag for Life?"
Before adding: "I don't even buy green bananas any more."
I've been smiling ever since.
