I was waiting at the bus stop, angry, hungry and cold. It was two o"clock at night and I was waiting for the last night bus that could take me home. I was really unlucky as I had just missed the previous bus and I didn"t have enough cash to take a taxi. Well, you know what it"s like when you leave a party and it turns out that you should have stayed a bit longer. It was the middle of August but the night was really cold and I was wearing a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. I had nothing to read and I had left my mp3 player at home. Out of boredom, I started reading advertisements. There were plenty of them at the bus stop. The headlines said: carpet cleaning Bedford, cheap computers, looking for a flatmate, buy a car, etc., etc. I became interested in the carpet cleaning company. A week before, I had thrown a party at my own home. One of the guests poured some red wine on my carpet and I had not been able to get rid of the stain. Actually, it was my best friend so I could not just tell her: hey, can you clean this carpet? It wouldn"t be right. I tore a piece of paper off the advertisement. There was the company"s telephone number printed on it. There was also their address and website. Perhaps the carpet cleaning Bedford service would not cost me a fortune.
