Hi nota - the only reference I can find in Peter Kay's Sound of Laughter is in chapter 4:
"When I was at school you could get a starter, main meal, pudding and carton of Vimto all for less then 50p. You've got to go to prison to get value for money like that these days. I was also a sucker for seconds, even though it wasn't allowed. I'd tell the nun on the checkout that she'd given me the wrong change. She'd give me another 50p and I'd get straight back in the queue. Magic. You can never have too much Manchester tart. Paddy McGuinness will back me up on that one. Only he won't be talking about the pudding".
I can't find any other references to gypsy tart - sorry.

But it all went nipples up yesterday - been to the doc today and have hospital tests tomorrow. Swings and roundabouts I suppose! Still, at least the weather is good. Have you any plans for the BH weekend to look forward too?
I stayed with big sis for the whole time - she spoiled me rotten, hosted me a surprise party too. We had a great time for 2 pensioners! The older we get the more we regress - start giggling and laughing like your grandchildren - well it keeps us young at heart.
Had a nasty turn yesterday as I left work - so the tests are to see if there are any cardiac enzymes in my blood. Might have been a slight heart attack - but so long as I am still here it can't be too serious. Had it before!

The thing that upset me the most lardy was collapsing outside the back of the cop shop. Must have looked like an old wino to say the very least. Thank goodness there was no-one around to be seen. Talking of which - is boxy on hols do I recall? Haven't seen her this week. Or is she still trying to flog her bunting at the market stall?
Just to clear up any misunderstanding - in case boxy does a search on her return - I thought of her in relation to the 'no one to be seen' ref ^ and NOT the 'old wino' ref. Phew! Well I am off to have a lie down now - no medicinal brandy tonight (:-(( bloomin' hospital tests! If I can't sleep I may return - you have been warned lardy! If ayg is on tonight pl give her my regards. ttfn
