A Sign Of The Times

A funny thing happened to me a few weeks ago.
As some of you will know I sell a few darts flights, shafts and bits and pieces that I buy from Tommy's Darts, from the back of my car. The profit from these sales is not much but it goes towards the team funds.  I have quite a good selection of bits and people in the different teams are starting to ask me for things when I go to my different matches. One night a little while ago, I was standing at the back of my car with three fellow players around the open boot showing them the cards of flights etc, when a man walked up to the car with his coat huddled up round his shoulders and face. As he approached he asked "How much are you selling them for?"
One of my friends replied "50 pence a packet."
"That's cheap" he said "What are they, E's?"
"No" my friend replied "Dart flights" and then we all burst out laughing. He was not amused but went away without any trouble anyway.
