No, they're nice people in the shop. The stoical look of shame I gave as I said "No, they're all mine" (I have such a cross to bear) did rather crumple her, though.

And it's nowhere near like the incident in Tesco's where I bought a Pregnancy magazine, the cashier congratulated me, and I said "I'm not." Her face was a flick book of emotions, from embarrassment to aghastness that she might have inadvertently deeply hurt me through drawing attention to some tragic yet invisible reproductive dysfunction I might have. (I'm being charitable in ascribing her assumptions - she might just have thought "OMG, I saw how big she was but it's just FAT!!!")
