Let me read it to you!

When the shack on the waterfront fell vacant, Celia had an idea. She’d always wanted a mobile burger van like those you see at events, but nothing ever came of it. Why not turn the shack into a burger bar?

To cut a long story short (Fri- Fic rules!)  the town council okayed it and soon the necessary work was under way.

She told her mates she was calling it ‘Celia’s  Burger Bar By the Beach’. 

“That’s too long you silly bugger”, laughed Potty-Mouthed Pete.

“That’s it!” she said.

I’m pleased to report that Celi Burgers is a great success!

As soon as I saw the picture I thought of the food hut on our seafront! I took this the other evening – I knew it would come in useful one day!

    Had to ponder on this before the bulb flashed. 😉 I’m sure she’ll make her fortune.

    And I’m sure none of the clientelle are any the wiser about the name. Though sooner or later some wag will inadverntly stumble on truth

    Seems like Pete’s potty mouth came good on this occasion but I’m glad she followed her dreams.

    That made me laugh! I love the name. Potty mouthed Pete turned out to be a great marketing advisor.

    She’s on her way despite name issues. Those food trucks are everywhere.
    I think we’re a bit food obsessed. A walk on the marina and food. 😄

    Your sign says you’ll be back on the 24th. Glad you snuck in for this enjoyable one. And yes! Your picture is a perfect accompaniment to both Rowena’s pic and your story. I wish Celia much success!

    Closed for nine days? What kind of food truck is this? No wheels. Well done, Keith.

    Fabulous, Keith! You’ve got the burgers and I’ve got the fish and chips.
    All we need are a few cold ones and we’re all set!
    Fun story and a great read!
