Break it to me gently! (The painful honesty of community)

One of the few constants in our lives at the moment are conversations. At the Tenants & Residents Association (TRA) meeting we hosted recently among the many informal introductions the following stood out…

Mrs Miggins: ‘When I first saw you come in I thought you were a stripper!
Me: ‘Are you joking, look at me.’
Mrs Miggins: ‘I know that’s why I’m glad you’re not!’

Charmin’! Community life can be so painful!
