673 - UNZIP

Jack Parks his car In the Underground car park. He goes to a lifestyle shop and buys an item. After that he heads to his favourite café and quips with the waitress Jill who gives as good as she gets. Whilst waiting for his order he examines his purchase. There is a booklet attached to the purchase which he starts reading. He learns that the decorative cords he'd bought is modelled on an ancient Peruvian quipu. As he starts to unpin the booklet from the cords, his order arrives so he has to put it aside to see to later. As Jill serves the order she remarks that he really ought to update his clothing as it was rather unhip. "I finish my shift in half an hour - if you like I can take you shopping" offers Jill. Jack is delighted with the offer so before long  they head for the shopping mall. He is trying on various jackets but gets in a pickle when one of them refuses to unzip. It takes Jill and the sales assistant 15 minutes to sort him out. Eventually he returns home laden with more than he set out to get.
