Each year we get a calendar from Oxfam- it's a bit of a tradition. As Roh walked into the shop this year, she noticed it had changed quite a lot. They had started selling clothes for a start. The books were on the other side of the room and the CD's weren't quite as good a selection as she remembered.
Undeterred, Roh asked the shop assistant where the calendars were. 'We don't sell calendars' said the shop assistant. 'Yes you do' said Roh. 'I buy one each year at this time.' 'Hold on' said the shop assistant, 'I'll ask the manager'.
The manager also advised that they don't stock calendars. 'But you do!' said Roh. 'Big ones with beautiful scenes from around the world. I get one from you every year'. 'Ah' said the manager. 'I think you want the Oxfam shop next door'. Roh slipped out of the British Heart Foundation shop as unobtrusively as possible.
