FLIPPING PIES

Willy: "McB  a bloke has just dropped by with a solution for the water damaged pies......"

McBroon: " Oh aye.......what's his name?.."

Willy: " Hood I think........says the boys down the Chipper mentioned you had water damaged stock because of the dodgy roof..."

McBroon: " Cut the crap aboot the roof......now what's this plan.."

Willy: " It's all to do with changing the sell-by date.........says it's like a house make-over...."

McBroon: " Aye, tell me more..."

Willy: " What you do is dry out the pies in front of the fire, change the sell-by sticker and pop them in a new wrapper...."

McBroon: " And then we can offer them as clearance stock at a discount because they'll be close to their use-by date..."

Willy: "  You got it in one big man..........it's a win win situation.........the punters will love you for reducing prices in a recession and McBroons makes a profit......ker ching...."

McBroon: " What's this plan called?.."

Willy: " He calls it 'flipping'..........you can do it with houses.."

McBroon:" But what aboot Trading Standards and the Wee Green Book on hygiene...."

Willy: " Easy peasy McB.....I've had a chat with the Clerk at the Traders Association ........he says that if you judge the pies to be bona fide and essential for the business then there is nae problem....rules are rules McB..."

McBroon: " Aye Willy...rules are rules.....and we wouldn't want to break them....McBroons is a Pie Shop so no problem with the 'essential' bit and after a night roasting in front of the wee fire they'll be as good as new........... by the way, what does this guy Hood look like?.."

Willy: " A bit dodgy if you ask me McB..... think he knows Pierre...."

McBroon: " Careful son....never judge a book by its cover...."

Willy: " That's what Dave down the Chipper says aboot the shiny wrapping on your pies......"

McBroon: " Shut it Willy........as Pierre knows about this flipping get him in to help with the pies..."
