SOUPMOBILE

Wilson's SoupMobile has been hired and delivered and is now parked up on the front drive.

Unfortunately (aka luckily for me!) I am not insured to drive the van, so the service is perforce by collection only, which rather limits our customer base...

Wilson's original pitch was Hot Soup Delivered To Your Door, but as it's worked out the hot soup is at OUR door, and customers have to collect it themselves.

While Wilson prepares to dispense hot soup, Byron is pretending to drive the wagon – and is in charge of operating the chimes!

One or two of the neighbours, attracted by the constant, cacophonous sound of the chimes, have dropped by to complain about the noise, but Wilson has deftly converted them into customers.

Nërp has tried to sell them Nërpsy Souvenir Mugs, but so far without great success…

Business will probably improve once the weather gets a bit colder!
