Visiting A Bakery.

Going to the bakery is a dangerous business.

If you are watching your weight, most of the items on sale will be off limits, or restricted, or so the experts tell us.

"But no!" say the bakers. "There is nothing in here which is fattening or unhealthy."

The staff behind the counters are all temptresses. They beguile the customers with honeyed words and alluring buns. 

Your wife may forbid you to visit. She knows the place is full of crumpet.

Despite all this, sales are brisk. You make a furtive purchase and escape with it wrapped in a brown paper bag. It is time to hide in an alley and lick the cream from a Danish split.
