LONG LEGGED CELERY

 

 

In Lidle today in the vegetable isle

I saw a sign that made me smile,

they'd got the spelling wrong of course:

sixty nine pence for celery storks

    Did you Flaming-go and buy some. Outside our local Lidl was a bloke with a van full of loo rolls shouting "Get ya bog rolls 'ere, two fer a fiver, three fer a tenner!". Needless to say the loo roll shelves in store were bare.
