# ello, doc. Haven't coincided with you for bloody ages. Keeping alright?
(btw: while we're on the subject of pernicious influences from Scotland, I went into my local chippie today and they've suddenly started doing battered Mars bars. 90p a pop. Apparently there's been a strong groundswell of demand from children, according to the employee who didn't realise she was talking to a reporter from her local paper and has accidentally started a shitstorm with her happy loose tongue.)

# I'm not bad ta
looking for work, but have a contract extension at the current job to tide me over.

re: the mars bars, I've never had one, but I'm glad that cunts like you no longer have the moral high ground

how you getting on?

# Very well, thanks. In the middle of another redundancy hurricane as usual. Chances of career being ended by Dec 31: around 50%.
The woman in the chip shop gave me some other facts:

a) nobody has so far ordered one with chips, and
b) occasionally, for a mischievous laugh, the staff ask: "Salt and vinegar?" when serving one.

# it's "Insane amount of salt and a Doner?" in Glasgow
good luck with not being destitute. When I finally get a job, send me your details, and you can clean my gutters once a month.

# Work outdoors? I'd be dead within a fortnight.
Some 15-20 years ago, there was a chippie I'd go into after visiting one of them nightclubs (if I'd been drinking).
After asking "Salt and vinegar?", to which one would automatically signal assent, the sneaky cunt'd follow up, in an insinuating, mumbling undertone, with "mushroom in batter?" or "cauliflower in batter?"

What a cunt. Using out-their-face revellers as lab rats for his obscene low-cost deep-fat frying experiments.

Once or twice I accidentally nodded along with him, and arrived home with a cold £1 portion of cauliflower in batter. Which is as nice as it sounds.
