Expanding our thinking on the sharing economy
Taking advantage of the pleasant summer weather, Mrs Simms and I wandered into town this week for an enjoyable evening out, deciding on a whim that it was the perfect day for a meal at our local Italian. Perusing the menu, the bottle of chilled white wine and the king prawns in garlic starter more or less selected themselves. The main course, though, needed more deliberation. After a few minutes and half a glass of white, the uncharacteristically indecisive Mrs Simms had still not firmed up her choice, although she had narrowed it down to two – the chicken in a cream and pesto sauce or the salmon in a cream and mushroom sauce. By pure chance, I was struggling with the exact same two menu options, and that’s when Mrs Simms and I cooked up a cunning plan. She ordered the chicken, I ordered the salmon, and half way through our respective mains, leaving our plates where they were on the table, we swapped seats.
