It was all going well for my new business, 'Bob's Cockle Emporium' in Hull, don't know if any of you have been there. Sales just dried up, nobody wanted cockles of any variety- pickled, grilled, steamed, poached, fried, in a jam, cockle ice cream, cockle beer, cockle pie, cockle ketchup, cockle pizza, cockle stuffing, spatchcock cockles, mashed cockles, smoked cockles, dried cockles, cockle kebab, cockles and chips, cockle butties, cockle soup, cockle gravy, cockle curry, cockle hot-pot... the list goes on. Talk about diversifying. The good people of Hull just didn't want to know, Conan II my dog was also getting sick of them, especially when I fed him a poisonous type of cockle that made him hallucinate for two days. (for the record these cockles never were on general sale). I now have 3 ton of frozen North Sea cockles to get rid of, my shop has been taken over by a lefty caff ('Cinammon Tree' or some such crap). I blame the lefties for this downturn, to much protesting over runways and other advancements that business can't get a foothold- unlike it did when Thatcher was in. Baxtards!
Who's doin the FRA at the weekend?
