      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.

          Fried not. Scrambled them, perhaps, though certainly not coddled them. I shell have to think of a better answer although if I can find a definitive answer in an album 'n' read it I'll report it.

          Not the best yolk I've ever told, admittedly and far from eggsellent...

              But far from being an eggative.

                I think they moved into the building trade.

                    I fear that it might not be over easy as that!

                        Wimpy Bars remain in business and are franchised around the UK. First place I ever ate a hamburger back in the fifties (nineteen....).

                          lunch breaks long enough to visit the bookie.

                            Ah, these "things-that-time-forgot" that apply only to employees! Wossa "lunch break", then? (unless you're employed)...

                              No, I was wrong.
                              i was self employed for 20 years, and I definitely remember having a break for lunch sometimes. Probably most days actually.
