Our local Eyetie chipmonger (Luigi) in Dennistoun used to give you tick. Mind you that was when i was a lad back in the 50s.
The Eastern Europeans have taken over from the tallies in a lot of the Southside chippos. Eddie to confirm
Speaking of fish, I was in the fish shop the other day and the guy in front of me had a fish under his arm and he asked the guy behind the counter if he sold fishcakes. Unfortunately the guy didn't sell them and the guy in front of me, whilst pointing at the fish under his arm, said, "that's a shame, it's his birthday today."
Hmmmm not sure whether to like your post or not, as not feeling 100% confident that you aren't being a tad sarcastic. **** it, have one anyway, it's the fish's birthday afterall
