  • what if the fat person was buying a dieting magazine or book? would they be offered it then?

    first post on here that has ever made me laugh out loud to myself.
    this comment really tickled me.

    I think they were asking because there are two other Newcastles in the UK and only one is officialy called Newcastle (Newcastle Co. Down).

    I'd thought that it was because the poster was being sarcastic over the spelling of Newcastle on the OP's profile.

    That being said, this is the funniest thread I have started reading for ages. I get offered those so I am feeling a tad paranoid about the mini pork pie and cream cake I had for lunch.

    I asked the "Newcastle" question as that's where I'm from.
    As suggested, there are many Newcastle's and I was more interested to see if it was "my" Newcastle rather than the "Staffs" Newcastle.
    I do know these particular W H Smiths well.

    No problem, here's one from my last birthday party, just be honest. ;)
    Only a small cake as I had filled my face on Greggs slices.
    Incidentally, Greggs originated from Gosforth.
