ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

The medium of yesteryearRemember when record shops' cassette displays were only empty boxes which you'd take to the counter and the assistant would retrieve the actual cassette from a big drawer at the back. Well Boots in Princes Street obvioulsy didn't want to invest in a drawer system and kept the cassettes in the display boxes. That's where I got
Iggy Pop - Lust For Life
Elton John - Capt Fantastic
Brownsville Station - Brownsville Station
Pink Floyd - Animal
Led Zeppelin - III
and many, many more.
Often chosen at random or merely because the cover took my fancy. Loads of classic albums that shaped my musical tastes and by extention my whole life, to this day.
Thanks Boots.
