43. Sainsburys supermarket on a very busy evening in an area popular with students, Clifton, Bristol

Nick, (44) seeing a face he recognises:  Hi there!  Remember me?

Shopper  (female, 44):  (looking blank – and nervous)  Uh....no??

Nick:   (Lowering his voice):  You know, the 1980’s theme party a month ago...

Shopper:  (In her relief, not realising she’s now shouting and attracting the attention of a large number of onlookers) Oh yes...OH YES!!  OH MY GOD!! I DIDN’T RECOGNISE YOU WITHOUT YOUR MAKEUP ON!!!
