*swoons*

*moans audibly in front of customers*

far as I can tell, your accent, or at least your accentuation, is perfect.

I mean. That's kinda my favorite things, all in one place. Several of them.

Hell im in the shop now, and had to not giggle as she starts to aquire a bit of color in her neck. It's quite funny to see her try to behave in front of the normals

curious minds want to know: how can you tell the normals?

I often found the ones who seem the most normal to be the real freaks. Anyone else?

Tz toast isn't supposed to be cold you should have sent it back! What do you lot call bacon then? Basically we have two types the streaky and the back bacon. Anyone for a crumpet?

I pretty much just have a sense for it these days. I can either smell the freak on them, or get the strong impression that they're corruptible. Or, if not, they just don't show up on my radar.

ETA: To give an example, I went to an event over the weekend that took place at a hotel in the middle of the day. The people showing up were not dressed in any way odd. Got there early, so I was hanging out in the lobby people watching. As the freaky types started showing up here and there, I picked them out from across the lobby.

You just get a sense for these things, I guess.

*waits for the "crumpet" reference.*

I was a student nurse, very young, very serious and, when asked what he preferred for pudding (dessert) that day, a cheerful cockney patient replied "a slice of crumpet like you." I must have been very tired or stessed because I burst into tears. He was puzzled and mortified, I just felt stupid.

When it is served in those little toast rack things, I don't see how it possibly can be warm.

What do you lot call bacon then? Basically we have two types the streaky and the back bacon.

What you call streaky bacon, we call "bacon." What you call back bacon, we call "Canadian bacon," at least here in my part of the country, regardless of whether the bacon actually originated in Canada or not.

*dashes in, drops several bags of various sizes*

sorry I'm late. There were these things. And I had to do them. Now then.

*leers* I'll have a crumpet, thank you. Long as Annie's serving them, I'm quite sure they'll be warm indeed...

howzat?

And wow, Tess, that's an adorable story. I imagine that a student nurse would have any number of times when she's overwrought and exhausted...

The bistro should serve crumpets more often. There's obviously a nice selection around here.

*writes in lipstick on the bar mirror* NOW SERVING CRUMPETS!

Kinda, yeah. After 8 years or so in this shop, I can pretty much peg the people I can speak freely in front of, versus the folks who are a little weirded out by being in a "witch store" and just want to buy some incense and get the hell out.

Indeed, and I think there's also a seething underbelly of crooked bits in most people. The main difference isn't so much whether it's there, but whether they have acknowledged it.

sincerely hope the crumpets are dripping butter through the holes .....

Well, Canadian bacon is what Bob and Doug MacKenzie affectionately refer to as "back bacon" and should be either thinly sliced and fried quickly in lard orrrrrrrrr left as a loin and slow roasted in a pint of your favourite lager... in their case, I believe, that would be Molson Ex.

KaRooKaKooKaKooKaKoo....

Side bacon is somewhat like "streaky bacon" except it's basically smoke and sugar cured pork belly, thinly sliced and fried slowly in a cast iron pan until it's golden and melt in your mouth crispy... mmmm

Yes, in a performance fully worthy of his work in Flash Gordon.
