You learn something new every day

I just stepped into a small independent store to buy some Lemsip. As I looked for it I heard two old biddies making a fuss of the sullen teenager behind the counter: "ooh, he's not happy working 'cos he's got the snuffles" "ooh, poor old you" etc., the horny old doxies.

Eventually I spotted the Lemsips on a shelf behind the counter, and waited for the fogeys to leave before I went up and asked for a box. Teenager wordlessly brought them to me and mumbled the price. "Funny, innit," I remarked, "when you want to buy these, you can't say the name properly". Teenager looks at me blankly. Aha, thinks I, this isn't going to go well, but like the bad comedian I am I went on anyway: "Whenever you need to buy them you have to ask for Lebsip. They should change the name. To Lebsip."

I now know how to say "I want you to die you pathetic old w**ker" with a look.
