About this listen
First broadcast in 2007, Fags, Mags and Bags delivers shop-based shenanigans and over-the-counter philosophy, courtesy of Ramesh Mahju and his trusty sidekick, Dave.
Ramesh has built his shop up over the course of 30 years, and it is a firmly entrenched feature of the local area. He is ably assisted by Dave, a 40-something underachiever who shares Ramesh's love of the art of shopkeeping, even if he is treated like a slave. Then, of course, there are Ramesh's sons, Sanjay and Alok, both surly and not particularly keen on the old-school approach to shopkeeping. However, they are the natural successors to the business, and Ramesh is keen to pass all his worldly wisdom on to them - whether they like it or not....

Really funny

There are a few jarring concessions to English listeners (Lenzie would have a provost, not a mayor, a minister not a vicar) but generally I found the craic therapeutic after months in lockdown. I hope small businesses like Ramesh’s will not be lost in the pandemic.
Scots humour of pre-virus times - very welcome
