Took ds2 and ds3 into a newsagents when the wheel snapped off my big Pegasus pushchair. Took ds3 out (to see what had happened) and because it was at an alarming angle, and put him on the floor. He set off (he is a nightmare) and I was running backwards and forwards grabbing him and talking to the man running the shop. The owner was trying to see whether he could make a temporary repair so I could get up the hill and home. Ds3 was heading for the door so I grabbed him just as a woman was coming in. She absolutely screamed at me "keep your child under control" (ds3 is 1 by the way). I ponted to the buggy and said (or tried to say) "I'm sorry the wheel has just fallen off my buggy". and she just screamed back "the child is more important than the buggy" (durr no really). The shop owner looked at me, shook his head and said "take no notice". He offered to get a spanner and try and do something but I said in loud voice "don't worry, we seem to be getting in the way of some of your customers" (it wouldn't have worked anyway).
So hobbled out of the shop carrying ds3 (who is blummin' heavy) and edging along the road with the buggy (I couldn't dump it as it had too many things in the basket.) A roadcleaner and old man stopped to commiserate then a penisoner couple came up and offered to help. One pushed the buggy back for me. So there are some lovely people.
Well dressed, well spoken woman in the shop was just an ultra bitch though. Hope she gets a puncture tonight.
(Lucky with ds1 i have years of practice eh).
