General Overview - "Go about your business with your shoes untied"
Main specific event - "Shopping for deodourant and a 100 watt lightbulb 
in a hurry with long shoelaces fully untied"

MAIN RESULT
1. slightly altered gate
2. underlying fear of losing teeth
3. momentary bout of panic whilst driving, going to hit the brakes and 
realising that shoelace is caught in car door
4. realisation of just how comfortable untied shoes are
5. realisation that having your laces untied is in fact part of "Teen 
fashion" in Sunderland
6. disappointment at the fact nobody pointed out that my shoes were untied

REPORT ENDS.......

I did enjoy myself though ! me and my unlaced shoes, striking a blow for 
the new fluxus artist, without anybody realising !
