She is blaming her lack of intelligence on a recent hapless blip that saw her accidentally wander off with £200 worth of stuff from a Boots in Brighton.
It seems that Helen was wandering round Boots, filling her basket with things that took her fancy, when she forgot what she was doing and where she was, and wandered out of the shop without paying. But let's let her tell the story:
“I nearly got arrested. Basically I was in a bit of a daydream and I was feeling hot and flustered and I walked out the shop and security were like ‘excuse me, Boots security’.
“I looked down and I had £200 worth of items in my basket.
“She said, ‘right I am going to have to ring the police’. I said ‘you are joking right?’. I thought she was bantering and she wasn’t. She pulled me aside and I said it was an honest mistake and I was just being ditzy and stuff.
“She said ‘that is what they all say’.
“I said ‘oh god I am so sorry but I always do this kind of thing, leave my phone or my keys in my car or whatever’.
“It was awful, it was absolutely mortifying.
“She was about to call the police and then she said ‘I will be kind, I am going to ban you from Boots for five years’.
“I said ‘you can’t ban me from Boots for five years’. Then I suppose I did sound a bit of a chav because I did use the F word, I did say ****** this because she was really annoying. I said you can’t have the power to ban me from Boots. Boots is like a shop that I shop in all the time.
“You can’t come round and do that.
“They will have to arrest me, I am still going to Boots.”
In the end, she didn't get arrested, or banned. Which just goes to show, if you want to do crimes it helps to be famous.
There's blondes, dumb blondes and then Flanagan ..... :rolleyes:
