BREKKIN NEWS - Chuckie Burnsees Floonders

GENERAL PELAGIC/DEMERSAL CONSUMER POPULATION OF BO'NESS "GUTTED"

Sad news reachn BOOB HQ this evening fi oor sources doon the Toon.

Chuckie Burnsees, iconic Bo'ness retail establishment and fishmonger ti Royalty (ma Maw) fur forty seevin-odd years hus inexplicably selt his last slice i haddock.

A notice in the windae simply reads "No longer trading" wi nut a rogue cockle or customary blueboatil ti be seen. Rumours thit Chuckie jist chucked it fur the sheer halibut are as yit unproven.

The end of an era in Bo'ness, but nae doobt the cue fur some fish-related tomfoolery in the comments section.

Right. "Ide" heard about it closing and didn't think it was "brill". "Witch" "bass" though "scat" was a good idea. "Huss" to be the worst thing to happen to the town centre. What a load of "carp". (And, yes, they're all fish.)
