EX WIMPY KING IN 'SOUPER MARKET' 'BROTH MIX' UP

EXCLUSIVE By Scoop Jeffrey

Barry "Isum" Jordan the 168 hour a week worker was quite literally put in the 'stocks' last week when a shopping trip to the local town for some broth mix proved to be too taxing on his brain!!
It all started when he was asked to buy some broth mix so that Diane "The Decorator" Bruce and Mark "the Weasel" Stafford could complete theirs and everyone else's favourite new year recipe broth including Dianes legendary 'Ham Shank', but instead he brought back two packs of Cup-a-soup!! "My 'pulse' was racing when he handed me the two packets" said Diane "I lost my temper and asked him what was I supposed to do with this? It was then that I called him a 'crouton'!! but Barry just told me to 'simmer' down"!! A fight started between the two and Mark "The Weasel" Stafford told me "At first I was still thinking about the 'ham shank' Diane had just given me! but then the pan of water started to boil so I put it in and broke up the fight"! The day was saved when an emergency packet was airlifted in and the pair made up. House manager Shirley "Rockchick" Wakefield said she knew the budget was short but not that bad!
Barry or as his friends like to call him "Mr Flexible" once use to work in a Wimpy bar flipping hamburgers over and serving food! This old Photograph which the Chunter paid a considerable amount of money for (NOT LIKELY) shows Barry with a customer. We asked his old boss at the Wimpy bar Mr Arfur-Cow what Barry was like before he worked at Cheviot and he told us in yet another Chunter Exclusive (Boring) that he had to let Barry go as he ate more than he sold and was also no great shakes! and Jenny "Im a Tree" Guisti who has know Barry for a lot of years expressed her worries over the impending millennium and whether Barry would be 2000 compatible!! Barry was unavailable for comment on this his latest escapades as he was at work yet again.
