I've got to reiterate the oddities lined out in this post:
1. You walk your cat - must be a typo or euphemism! Perhaps you drove to the shops in your Jaguar and didn't want to come around as too posh!
2. Do you carry a poo-bag or a handful of litter for when your cat plops?
3. You still buy a newspaper? What, like made out of paper?!
4. You talked to your neighbour? This is 2016, you don't do such things!
5. You didn't have your mobile with you? Was the surgery painful? What if aliens landed or your cat started to talk, you'd miss your youtube golden moment!
6. You called the police? As in the number nein, nein, nein?
Great OP OP, fascinating!
