This man's hand is on the back of his far more attractive wife's neck, as if it's the only way he can stop her running away.
This woman's a jarringly violent orange; she makes the front of Sainsburys look rendered in pastel shades.
There's something surprisingly touching about the eager incompetence of unaccompanied dads.
A girl screeching past the phone shop calls her friend "babe". Without looking, I know she isn't one.
These men practice their blank expressions. They'll need them when they're abandoned outside the changing rooms.
My coffee was finished ages ago. I could stay here all afternoon.

If only Twitter was 100 words instead of 140 characters.
I recently wandered over here from Sal's place. This is superb.
I am so with you on people calling each other 'babe', I so want to run after them and shout 'liar' ;0)
I love this. I like to people watch, too... If I happen to be one of the ones walking past, though, I will admit, I tend to tune everyone else out...
watching people go by in the kaleidescope of our world is a pastime to behold, thouhgts for future imaginings intertwined with past happenings, btw what colour is sainsburys?
today is my first day of holidays. Plans? op-shopping and people-watching. With the mirror.
People watching through your eyes. I liked this.

:) this is such a nice post. There are many like you out there in so many different places in the world :)
people watching is one of the few, truly free, joys of life. we are fascinating and very strange creatures
You saying I'm ugly?
People watching really should be a sport.
In Spain it's even better - you can blatantly stare at people and no-one gives a monkey's. You do have to re-adjust your attitude when you go back to England to visit though!
International airports make the best sites for people watching. I always show up several hours before my flight to ensue maximum people watching time.
I am a follower but you are not on my sidebar [as I don't know how to do it, Sazzie fixes these things for me when she comes down] so I have caught up with all the posts I've missed.
Now that Erin has flown the coop I believe you are now the best writer on our block. Get that RSI fixed, we cannot afford to lose you.
I think you have the most wonderful insight. You see into people, you see who they are at their core.
And something you wrote (on twitter) has stuck with me for days. "Would that we all had the readers we deserved."
