One dreary
Saturday morning, I was locuming for this independent pharmacy in the city
centre. The owner had a picture of herself on the computer desktop, looking so
happy and content in a dress, grinning from ear to ear. Presumably some
fancy event. As I cast my eyes over this picture, I noticed something really
interesting.
She’s
sitting and posing with Sean Bean. Yep, the
Sean Bean who is in black suit and tie. I called Clara, the technician, over and pointed this out.
“Wow, is that really Sean Bean?” I asked,
rather impressed.
“Eh, yeah” she replies, nodding warily.

Having
finished my work at 1pm, I left a business card with a little thank you note.
Scribbled on it were “Thanks for calling me” and “Cool, you met Sean Bean.”
The
following week, I was there again and I met the owner for the first time. After
exchanging greetings, I was enthusiastically asking her about her encounter
with the celebrity, only to be met with confused looks. She was utterly baffled
and had no idea what the hell I was talking about. Then I pointed to the
picture, which only made her even more baffled.
The guy in
the picture was not Sean Bean. It was her husband.
It gets
better. A few minutes later her husband arrived. Casually dressed and a joy to
talk to, but sadly not Sean Bean.
To this day
I’m still asked to locum for her. Guess she took the whole thing as a
complement.
