Ever felt slightly embarrassed?

Oh, the lights are on in the bank, people are gathered around an office table, looks quiet, usually people are queueing to the doors, what a pleasant change.........much pressing of the bell to enter the air lock and in I go. 

Odd, to be served by the manager thought I.  The usual polite greeting and then he said we are closed in the afternoons, how can we help you?........He was obviously not socialising round the table, it became apparent that it was some high powered meeting of managers and there's me, bold as brass, wanting to pay a bit of cash in. 

He was politeness itself.  The more I apologised in my best  French, the more he chated away in English.  In the end I could hardly speak at all, in any language.  After much hand shaking I shot to the door, in my haste I completely forgot to press the door button, needless to say I  bounced off the glass..............oh please, just let me get out of here..................[:$]

I volunteered to help out with the school Christmad Fair and was invited to sit in on a pre-fair meeting at the salle. On the night in question I wandered over to the village salle where there were about six people sitting in chairs in front of the stage and another ten or so on the stage acting out a bit of theatre. I pulled up a chair with the six who all nodded politely and waited and watched while the acting went on assuming that it was all to do with the fair. Two hours later I was beginning to suspect all was not well when they finished up and everyone started drifting off home. I sneaked away only to discover the next day that the fair meeting was on at the SCHOOL salle and I had just helped myself to a sneak preview of the local drama groups annual January offering!
