When I was younger we used to wander into our neighbours houses as though they were our own back gardens.
There was this lady living across the street from me who let me hang around because I was in the with same crowd as her daughter, even though I don’t we really like each other. We had to tolerate each other because our parents would always collect us after school and chat to each other.
This lady, who I believe was called Sue, had a thing for mints. She always seemed to carry a never ending supply of them, usually Polo’s or on the rare occasion imperials. She would always offer me a mint, which I adored her for. Whenever I went to her house she had a huge bowl of imperial mints on the kitchen counter and would always let me have as many as I wanted.
Even now, 13 years later she still carries polo’s around in her bag, and about two minutes into conversation she will offer you one.
This is the one thing I will always remember whenever I see her.
I wonder if there is something about me that people will remember whenever they see me.

There was this lovely lady who used to give me loads of sweets/chocolate on my way to primary school. Little did she know, she gave me a sweet tooth which I still have. My teeth are your fault!
