To sleep, perchance to dream...

js sleep aid Having had a run of nights when, for some reason, I didn't sleep too well, I decided that when I went to the supermarket this morning I would get some Nytol [or the equivalent Sainsbury's own brand, which is half the price] I expected it to be in that section of their pharmacy where they have all the vitamins etc - I noticed a fortnight or so ago that everything has been repackaged - and I firmly expected that along with the ones labelled "Ooomph!" and "Revive!" they would have one called "Zzzzz...."

Unable to find what I wanted, I asked an assistant- who confidently led me to the shelf labelled 'FAMILY PLANNING'!!  I kid you not - there among the other...er... products, were all the 'sleep aids'. This is a method of limiting the family I hadn't thought of before - you obviously slip a couple of Nytol into your husband's cocoa, and that's that problem dealt with!

I drove home, still chuckling to myself about this, and came up behind a van stopped at the lights. I admit I was not quite 100% on form, but for the remainder of my journey, I was trying to work out what "tomation" was, and how it applied to cakes. Painted across the back doors of the vehicle, it proclaimed "GATEAU  TOMATION" 

What is tomation? cupcakeIs it related to tomatoes? Is this some new fancy term for presentation of fairy cakes in a pyramid? [...At the reception, the bridal party enjoyed a gateau tomation which was three feet high and festooned with sugar roses...]

The van went straight on, and I turned right to the village, and the light suddenly dawned! This van belonged to a firm providing security stuff for outbuildings etc. The other words painted across the back [split neatly down the middle where the two doors met] said "GARAGE  - SECURITY" and "UP&OVER  - DOORS" and the first line should have read "GATE  - AUTOMATION" but it had been spaced badly!
