Fish and chip shop

These aren't strictly listening ones, but I was sitting in a Turkish-owned fish and chip shop in my part of east London the other day, studying the menu, when I saw the following items spelled very sweetly:

Cheese and onion paste
Beefburger/Sausage in butter
Curry source
Gherkings

Meanwhile the greengrocer's opposite had brockly on special offer. On a positive note our local video shop, The Video Proffesionals, sigh, has closed down and the pub has taken down its advertisement for bar staff with 'fleuent English', so there's progress.
