Barry: Hi man, how's life?
Mahmoud: Pretty good, work's going well, and Aisha is pregnant!
Barry: Wow! Congrats man, so pleased for you!
Mahmoud: Thanks, we thought it would never happen, we've been married 9 years and were giving up hope.
Barry: Well, I am delighted for you both, I'll tell Sheila about it, we can go out for dinner to celebrate!
Mahmoud: Sounds great, man! How's the shop going?
Barry: Yeah, just taken on two new staff, two kids from college, they are pretty good so far.
Mahmoud: Problem is when they go to Uni you'll be left high and dry!
Barry: Bugger! Didn't think of that, well, they are 16 and 17, so a couple of years left yet, then I'll have to look for someone a bit more permanent.
Mahmoud: Sheila fancy going back full-time?
Barry: Nah, she's pissed off with stinking of fish and chips all the time, hates the place, frankly!
Mahmoud: Well you can't hate plaice if you're in a chippy!
Barry: 😆 What a comedian!
Mahmoud: You know Aisha would love to come back, but she's got bigger fish to fry!
Barry: Oh, my sides are splitting! Well, I imagine the Land Registry plays a bit better than I used to, more maternity leave too.
Mahmoud: You're right there. Well, best go, let's sort that meal out ASAP.
Barry: I'll tell Sheila and get back to you soon. See ya!
Mahmoud: See you man!
Mahmoud and Aisha are expecting a baby. They will go out for dinner with Barry and Sheila to celebrate. Barry has taken 2 college students to help out around his shop but will have to look for someone permanent in a couple of years.
