Joss Sticks And Glue

[poliphilo]

The girl ahead of me in Rumblin' Tums bought up their whole stock of oven bottoms- bar four. The guy behind me wanted oven bottoms too, so I said I'd toss him for them- and won. The girl behind the counter had to remind me that I also needed to pay.

The guys who are doing the windows arrived early and have been having a territorial dispute with Khalid who- as always- arrived late. I'm burning joss sticks to cover the smell of  glue.

WHAT is an "oven bottom"?

It's a kind of muffin. I think it's a Lancashire speciality.
