Salvador's sides splitting at the sight of a decorated pineapple in Moni

Today's argument has been with a shoe shop owner.
Esther had arranged to have a pair of shoes made and paid half up front.

The shoes that have been made are ;

1. The wrong colour
2. The wrong size
3. The wrong type of sole

Apart from that they are perfect.

When Esther complained the shop owner got very aggressive and abusive (I can't understand abusive people at all) with her and refused to refund her money.
Esther is no pushover by any means and we went to the Police station to try to get some help.
The Peruvian Police were as useful as ever, maybe Humala's brother didn't shoot enough of the lazy, fat, corrupt idiots.
So we went back to the shop together.
The owner wasn't there but his wife was and refused to do anything until Monday despite me becoming quite aggressive and abusive.
I'm not sure what 'anything' is yet but I am reasonably confident it doesn't include Esther's money.
What the people in the shop don't know is that the last time Esther was there she saw them selling shoes and not giving out receipts, this carries a hefty fine and closure of the business for a period.
What they also don't know is that on the way there we made a detour to the taxman to make him aware of this infringement of the law.
Whatever happens we will go back on Monday, doubtless to receive another load of cobblers (irresistible).
