OK, so we're all used to the emails from various parts of Africa, offering us some amazing money making proposition.

But I just got a bloody PHONE CALL from Guyana! Spoiled mt little perusal of the fish counter at Morrisons (I know, I live dangerously).

Back on to trying to get that ex-directory thing from the 118 website which was permanently blocked for ages...

I'm not getting involved in discussions on grammar, or geography actually.

But yep - Gyana sarf 'mericas type thing.

Mind you, the guy might have said Ghana.

And still can't get on the 118 ex-directory site.

AND Morrisons didn't have any squid frown

I was squid hunting..... Maybe if I'd given him time to explain, I might have found out that he was offering some.

Were you hunting the squid for ink?

Perhaps for a pen of some fashion?

You were lucky, they sold the last squid to the guy in front of you, but it was off, the squid had been ill before it was caught.

Mind you he got a decent deal on it, guess how much........?




Yup, whole thing for £11.37
