    How about the conversation in the radiotherapy ward  with a patient with not only lung cancer but throat cancer too. " I can't wait for this to be over so I can go out for  a fag"

    In our local rag (online of course) today.  A woman complaining that a child's portion in her local chippie only had 4 chicken nuggets and a couple of dozen chips.  She also complained that the chips tasted of potato.
    I promise I haven't made any of that up.

    Maybe the patient has had a terminal prognosis.  If so what is the point of stopping smoking now?  My father-in-law lost both legs due to circulation problems caused predominantly by smoking.  After the surgery the consultant told him he should stop smoking.  My f-i-l said to him that smoking was the only pleasure he had left and the damage was already done.  Fair comment.

    @KT53, l went and had a look at that article. l didn't know whether to laugh or cry, especially when l read the bit where (and l quote)
    "The mother went on to say that they were regular customers and that the chip shop manager should be more appreciative of that. She said that in the past, they were known to go multiple times in a day.
    She said: "We aren't going there again. Normally, we go three or four times a week. Sometimes we go at dinner time and at the evening. But the manager has put us off now, I’d rather go to a chip shop that appreciated our money."

    Not only that , the website spelt "Manager" as "Manger" (at least it wasn't "Minger" l suppose). 

    I really don't know what to say.......

    4 vine weevils tonight. They just keep coming from somewhere :|


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    That's pretty depressing @AnniD.
    However, it's good to see Glasgow has a rival when it comes to purchasers of deep fried items  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
