Business Expansion Plans for the Spanners Family

A fresh rumour just in from The Ladies’ at the Church Guild suggests that the eldest two Spanners sisters, Mini and Shelly, have purchased the vacant property next to Murdina’s Butcher’s shop.

Further tittle-tattle guarantees that their old man, Wullie Spanners, was seen erecting a sign above the front door, saying “Fix ‘Em or Stuff ‘Em Animal Clinic”.

As I’m sure all islanders know, Shelly Spanners is a vet and Mini Spanners is a taxidermist.

Their new neighbour, Murdina at the butcher’s shop, said, “I’d like to wish the girls all the best in their new animal clinic. If I can be of any assistance to their business, please tell them to bang on the wall and I’ll give them a good price per pound on left overs.”

How did Murdina get on with tendering for the Tesco and Findus contracts by the way?

Yes, Shelley Spanners' dead horse came in most useful. Murdina was ever so grateful to Mini Spanners for letting her have first dibs .
