Here is another bit of racism to take offence at.

There is a excellent Turkish restaurant in Westgate, Chichester, opposite the market.The food is lovely, especially the salads and it is immaculate. So immaculate that I am sure they must stay late, after all the other venues are locked, to make sure it is all clean.

Once the mops have been hung up, I like to imagine the doors opening and the staff floating out, only to glide home through the empty streets sitting cross-legged on their magic carpets.

Sedan chairs too.

The problem with sedan chairs, is that you'd have to pay 2 Uber carriers.

Sedan chairs have to be a bit bumpy compared to a magic carpet though you'd think wouldn't you?

Sharron Report 31 Aug 2021 19:27

You probably have to know how to drive a magic carpet.

I once saw a man in a high rise block of flats in Melbourne waving a rug from his fourth floor balcony.

I shouted up to him, "Won't it start?"

When they are floating home I wonder if they wave to the rickshaw men waiting outside the Chinese and the mahouts quietly tending their elephants outside the Indian as they wait for the staff to finish off. Not to mention the tuk-tuk drivers outside the Thai.
