So there I was, in the supermarket trying to get a few bits in for the tea when all of a sudden several Barbie Gymnastic Divas were falling down towards me near the fruit and veg! For those of you unfamiliar with Barbie Gymnastic Divas (as I was until yesterday), it’s basically the latest model of your old style Girl’s World - the disembodied head you style, so as you can imagine, it’s pretty scary seeing 6 of them toppling towards you from a great height!

My initial reaction after diving out of their way was it wasn’t me! I didn’t touch them! I don’t think my little boy had hit them with his foot either. And, if he did, is it really in accordance with health and safety procedures to have things so precariously stacked around the store? Many people would walk in and see a compensation claim (not me of course!) There’s never an assistant on hand to help when you most need them so I ended up stacking the styling heads back up myself pretending to be oblivious to the onlookers stares. So for me, it was very much a case of - forget the compo - who wants to put a claim in for injuries sustained in the supermarket from a Barbie attack!
