Meh, y'know, 15 minutes of fame and all that. Get sympathy from female watchers so they come in and buy their next batch of lingerie. Although, I would say that it's amazing how many bras a lingerie store can fit on an average rack! And if they have silk or spandex bandeau-types, you really can put hundreds of those alone on a very small table.

One thing's for sure: she hasn't made herself popular in the neighbourhood. She wasn't exactly well-loved before, because of her snooty behaviour, but now she's laughing stock. She has always been very nice to us, but she needs us because a real woman doesn't know how to change a lightbulb or set the clock when time changes.

Getting the information into the newspapers just provides more 'proof' for their claims.

That was our first reaction. She prides herself on her exclusivity, that she's only got one piece of everything.
She still says the fire was caused by a short circuit in our part of the basement. Which simply isn't true, the electricity in our part of the basement was off completely (automatic system due to former employees leaving on the light 24/7 in the basement). The area where the fire started was underneath an open venting gap at street level, she had stuffed that with potting soil days before the fire (because she was afraid of fire). Google the terms potting soil and fire and you'll find it isn't a good combination. We think someone threw away their cigarette without stamping it out, it rolled against the potting soil, which started smouldering. Underneath the venting gap were boxed up lightbulbs. A spark or a bit of smouldering ground must have fallen onto the boxes which set it alight. So the only person to really blame is the smoker and maybe, a little bit, herself for using potting soil instead of voicing her concerns to the landlord.
