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?

as at least 35 years have now passedand the shop in question long since shut, i can confess that me and my gang of little urban tearaways used to frequently raid our local spar shop for jif lemons, you know the sort, those wonderful little plastic lemon shaped squirty things, after consuming the contents we would retire to the local public toilet, fill the the empty containers with water and while away many a happy hour making a nuisance of ourselves with our lemon shaped water pistols,
if memory serves me they were also available in other flavours and shapes but we preferred the lemons.
i might also add that the saying 'crime doesn't pay' is tosh, none of my little gang have ever suffered from scurvy, i put this solely down to our earlier criminal activities.
p.s don't tell my mum.

Surely......consuming one whole jiff lemmon would make your piss burn. All tha citrus acid can't be good for you.
Nice story though. Put a smile on my face.
