Many years ago there was an advert in the Dundee Courier placed by a Miss Mary Keeps of the above address. It slipped through the net and went to print.

I was in Costco in Manchester this afternoon , behind me in the queue at the cafe 2 women of about 22 talking loudly

Snippets I heard were , so has your dad found a new girlfriend , yes but it's a bit weird because she's only 2 years older than me and her kids dad has threatened to punch her new boyfriend out ,there was a boy of about 4 sat on one of the seats who was getting bored so she asked him to be quiet , Phoenix can you be quiet please
WTF is wrong with these people , who calls a boy Phoenix

We did that on a Thurs night when working part time at Southgate ASDA when I was about 17. Very pretty blonde girl on reception. Got her to put out the announcement for Mike Hunt to come to reception. It was hard to stop the sniggering but she fell for it hook line and sinker.

Can't remember her name but.....sorry

When I worked at a motor dealers back in the 80's we had a Miss Ophelia Cox trade in a Porsche 911. All the sales guys were fawning over her (I was accounts then) and she said to 'the winner sales guy' - 'you do know how to drive a Porsche?' He says 'yeah' and then stalled it about 11 times......
