Over the past few weeks, i have been making milkshakes (to sell during the hot weather) and it appears to be bringing the boys to the yard.

A rival seller has been asking around about the quality and they're like 'it's better than yours'. he asked me and i confirmed that 'damn right, it's better than yours'.

i offered to teach him, but for a nominal fee



I wish they wouldn't just bring the boys to the yard






i might be a little bit drunk

    Did you say to the competitor that you would provide some tutoring for an appropriate fee?

    I think that the problem may be that your milkshake is 10 years out of date.

    Is it because you serve your milkshake at an unrefrigerated temperature?
    Do you warm it up?
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    I've been seeing that meme for a couple of years now and it's only since reading that post that I've got it. :o

    I trust that you are rigorous about checking use-by dates and stock rotation?

    Basic Food Hygiene Certificate prominently displayed?

    Employee and Public Liability Insurance?

    Properly updated and formatting Risk Assessment available for inspection?

    And if you're offering to train someone else in return for fiscal renumeration you will of course have to be properly registered with HMRC.

    Mmmmmmmm.......milkshake.......
