An outbreak of particularly muggy weather caused considerable consternation in the UTC household recently.
An agitated Auld Boy was roaming from room to room opening windows trying to combat an increasingly sticky situation in his semmit when he chanced upon a bottle of anti-humidity spray on Mrs UTC’s dressing table.
“Whatever will they think of next?” Under The Counter wondered, as he started to scoot said spray into the atmosphere with gay abandon.
He was soon stopped in his tracks by his good lady, who angrily wondered what the hell he was doing spraying one of her many hair care products everywhere.
As he is neither healthy nor beautiful, Under The Counter doesn’t spend much time in the Health & Beauty aisle. He was therefore blissfully ignorant of the fact that Mrs UTC’s anti-humidity spray is actually designed to stop her hair going frizzy in clammy conditions. Fans of the hit 90s TV show Friends will recall that Monica was similarly afflicted.
The situation got even stickier when the tight-fisted Auld Boy discovered a can of the stuff retails at £7.99; his neighbours – thanks to the open windows – were soon treated to a frank but far from friendly exchange of views over the UTC household budget.
