which is a funny idea in the first place (what happens to the hot oil when you're piling round a corner en route to your next pitch?) but the best bit is the ad. It's written in Glasgae phonetic.
Questions from ebayers is worth a look, the last one in particular which is asking for a buy it now price.

So what you saying, all Scots eat fried food?

There's plenty of chippy vans for sale in England.

Racist.

Firstly, if you wish to use slang, it's "Glesgae" or "Glesga" - not Glasgae.

Secondly, the language in which that advert is written is absolutely nothing at all like Glaswegian vernacular.

Thirdly, I'd imagine the oil is stored and used in a sealed unit of some description. It's not rocket science.

Don't really understand the reason for this post.

The chap's selling a mobile food van, so what?

<<<It's written in Glasgae phonetic>>>

What's that meant to mean? It's simply written by someone who cannot spell. There's no Glasgow slang or patois at all? Glasgae? fk me.
