Margaret
Quaile
In Barrhead, were severely rationed just like everyone else. There was a shop
in the Main Street called Stevenson's, the ham curer, on a Tuesday morning if
you got up and got into the queue early enough you were lucky enough to get
a quarter of liver or a pond of back bones. These two wee boys had been sent
to stand in the queue for their granny and their mother. The lady behind the
counter was sair trachled, she had bad feet and trachled up and down hent the
counter. So these wee boys were standing in the queue, all waiting to get served
and this woman says,
'Maggie, huv ye ony pigs' feet the day?'
The wee boy pipes up,
'Naw, its her bunionsm she ay walks wlike that'
The place erupted, it was hilarious and every body was roaring.
