No batteries
My phone blew up yesterday so I went on little expedition way north of the city today, involving a train and a bus and those that know me will tell you I'm not so good with buses.
I was in a neighbourhood (more of a street) than a 'hood called Devon. This is basically a concentration of Indian and Pakistani immigrants and I am told, not unexpectedly, the best place to get a ruby murray in the city.
The Street is also a haven for electrical goods, hence me up there looking for a new mobile. For Ric's benefit, it was a Nokia 6230i.
I would have taken some photo's, but my batteries ran out. I did buy some more, but they were dud. And when I took them back, the bloke wouldn't exchange them because I had opened the packet! I swore at him and threw the batteries over the counter and walked out. Therefore no photos!
Promise me you won't shop at Ghandi Electronics on the corner of Western and Devon Avenues? Thanks. ¶ 20:48
