I've mentioned this man before, he's brilliant.
For intestinal reasons that I won't
Never having given them fish before I mentioned to Jan that as well as looking in the frozen food section (we're in our favourite supermarket, Booths) I'd go and ask the fishmonger about the cheapest fish to give them, thinking that he'd come up with something obscure that didn't sell very well.
Vic (still my best friend) mentioned that they had Hake on special offer at half price (£9.50 kilo).
My face must have expressed more than I wanted because after a short pause he said, "Hear you go, try a fillet, you can have it free. See if the dogs like it." This humongous piece of fish weighed in a nearly a kilo.
What a star. This man is pure gold and when he eventually brings Booths to its knees I'm going to help him get a job.
I'm thinking of something like an expensive car showroom!
You didn't have Jan dressed in sack cloth and no shoes again to make your 'scrounge' more plausible ......
ReplyDeleteShe was allowed flip flops.
ReplyDeleteOne other small point, are you absolutely sure that 'Vic' works there?
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought about that?
