Reality Check !!!

Let me begin with the following definition:

fic·tion (fkshn)
noun.
1.
a. An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but
has been invented.
b. The act of inventing such a creation or pretense.
2. A lie.
3.
a. A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and
is not necessarily based on fact.
b. The category of literature comprising works of this kind, including
novels and short stories.
4. Law Something untrue that is intentionally represented as true by the narrator.

JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR - Chipperfield Chronicles is a place of fiction!!! The stories here are simply that - STORIES. The characters ARE based on real people, the events bear some similarities to events that MAY have occured in the shop, and even some of the jokes have been told around the tables.

BUT, let me be clear - the stories here are fictional!!!
Made up.
A product of the imagination.
A stretching of the truth.
NOT FACTUAL.

This reality is clouded by the photos that are posted from time to time chronicling the events happening in the real life Chipperfield Coffee Company, but since the beginning of this blog, it has been a place to play with stories - FICTIONAL STORIES !!!

The events here have not happened.
The Conversations here have NOT happened.
The happenings have simply never happened.

THIS IS A PLACE OF FICTION.

It is my hope that people will stop sharing the stories here like they have any connection to real events or the truth - they DON'T ... the only connection to reality is that I have, with the permission and enthusiasm and I daresay the participation of the folks at the REAL LIFE Chipperfields', used them and their locale as the place in which I spin my stories ...

Clearly this seperation is too hard for some people to comprehend - but I hope by spelling it out folks may finally start to grasp this ...

Say it with me people: "This is a place of ficitional stories !!"

Fiction - made up ... not true ... just story !!

GOT IT ???
Thanks.
