Chinese Take Away

[Caran]

Many years ago late husband and I stopped off at a take away. It was rather late and they had been cleaning. Husband went in and slipped on the wet floor.
He skidded on his front along the shop. Managed to pull himself up to the counter to be met by a Chinese man leaning over to him who said, "velly solly only number 4 left"
We never found out what number 4 was due to hysterical laughter from us.
Needless to say we didn't buy anything.

I thought of this while watching Rick Stein in Shanghai tonight!

Should've asked for twenty Number 6.

Should have had a free meal.

....After all he did provide the floor show.

[Smowball]

At least it wasn't a number two !!

[Caran]

Mamya you have excelled yourself!

[Mamyalynne]

I'm wasted , well not literally.

I remember the days when you would go into a Chinese and just order by number. Asking for a 69 and/or a number 2 were fraught with difficulty.

I remember it well Jackdaw!
