Follow-up

One evening, I was in the bar of Oldham football club before a match against the Scottish side Hearts of Midlothian. Two tipsy Scots supporters ordered snakebites: cider and lager in the same glass. Imagine the look on their faces when the barman gave them two steak pies!

BUYInG loose potatoes, I bagged up all the green ones, which are toxic, and put them on one side. I stopped a passing assistant and asked if she could please take them to customer services. She was apologetic and said: ‘I’m so sorry, madam, aren’t they ripe then?’
