A WEE VISIT

McBroon: " Morning Laddies.."

Men: " You'll be McBroon then ?"

McBroon: " Aye, I'm the one.......50 years of growing pie sales......you'll be wanting one of my pies then?"

Men: " No ...Trading Standards McBroon.......we've had a complaint.."

McBroon: "What!...aboot my pies......best pies in toon.."

Men: " Aye aboot your pies McBroon, and your prices.."

McBroon: " Best pies in toon........50 years of uninterrupted sales.."

Men: " Jimmy from the butchers tells us your charging VAT on your pies.."

McBroon: " No, no laddies, the price is all  inclusive.."

Men: " Look you big numpty........there's nae VAT on food...you're cheating the punters.."

McBroon:" Look I tell you it's an all inclusive price..."

Men: " Aye McBroon, an all inclusive price.....inclusive of tax at 17.5%, then 15%, then 17.5% and then 18.5%....."

McBroon: "Lighten up laddies.......it's just a wee joke......you have to read the small print on the wrapping.."

Men: " The only joke round here McBroon is your pies....the lassies doon the Institute say your pies are like an estate agent...full of air.."

McBroon: " But the chippy doon the way has cut its price by 2.5%, so they must be charging VAT too..."

Men: " Rubbish McBroon...those nice young laddies at the Osborne and Cameron Chipper just like to offer the punters a good deal....what's more McBroon there's nae fibs on the wrapping.."

McBroon: " Sassenach bastards..."

Men: "You're on a caution McBroon...you are the only pie shop in Europe cheating the punters with VAT.."
