Spot the vegetable |
|
| In the Co-op, two people serving behind the counter, one Indian guy with very strong accent, one Manc girl with very strong accent, one female Manc customer with even stronger accent. The customer hands the guy a courgette. He looks at it, doesn't know what it is, and asks the Manc girl "What is this?" She rolls her eyes, takes it off him, shows it back to the customer and says "What is this?" and the customer goes "I thought it were a cucumber." The three of them stare at each other in silence. |

| When I went to Mexico, I had to fly from Manchester, a family got on the plane with their hand luggage and looking for overhead lockers the son, a lad about 18, yelled out to his dad "Dad there is a full empty one here". |
