‘Handing the bloke on my local fruit and veg stall some huge baking potatoes. I dropped one, instinctively put my hand down to grab it, ended up grabbing his crotch…..I have NEVER been so embarrassed in my life. Especially as I’m a middle aged bird, and he’s a youngish nice looking bloke. He thought it was hilarious and 7 years on he still teases me about and warns his dad who owns the stall to keep an eye on me’

‘When I first moved to the North West (I’m from Yorkshire), I was sat in the office with my relatively new colleagues. Someone asked if I wanted anything from the shop and I asked for a sausage bap.
‘Literally everybody in the office was beside themselves that I referred to it as a “bap”. They kept repeating the word again and again, like I’d said something unfathomable. They referred to it every single time bread was mentioned for another year or so afterwards.
‘Now I’m fully assimilated I get why, but I felt like an absolute tit at the time.’

‘I was about to enter a doorway when I realised someone else was leaving. He passed, said thank you. I meant to say ‘no problem’ but just went ‘NO.’ and walked through the door.’

‘I was really hungover on my way to work, so I grabbed a lucozade sport while waiting for my train. It was the first time I had experienced the sports cap that fires the stuff into your mouth. Ever curious, I just had to see how it worked, so I brought the bottle closer to my face and squeezed it…sending a jet of lucozade into my face, square between the eyes.’
