Even a broken watch shows correct time once or twice a day. I ought to know, I have a few!

Thanks! Had a very nice day. My mom, brothers, and sister in law came over and we grilled out hamburgers. For some reason they were extra specially good. Pattied really thick cooked just right. I had the usual fixings including some vine ripened tomatoes from our garden and some nice thin sliced bacon. We also had potato salad, baked beans, Waldorf salad, potato chips, and slaw. For dessert strawberry shortcake and ice cream.
At dusk we went out to feed the flying squirrels in the yard. My sister in law was charmed by the little guys. And then we set off our fireworks.
We kept it simple but it was a nice day. Weather was as perfect as the burgers.

No offence taken but I did get curious so I googled "burger fixings (aka burger fixins)." It is indeed a common phrase:

Although "burger toppings" appears to be more common.
Guess I'm letting my southern show.
You are welcome at our grill anytime.

I visit a chipper in my neighbouring county. The menu sits on the wall, a laminated A4 sheet with the following
Chips
Sausage
Burger
The guy fries up the chips in a wee frier and cooks the burgers and sausages on a hotplate..
Apart from the delicious offerings the sheer entertainment is 2nd to none..
He talks to the burgers as he cooks them..'ok you need flipping', better watch you, you're almost done'...he then asks the customer if they want toppings..'you want a bit of red on that?' (ketchup) 'you want your onion crispy' (black burnt)..and he can feel whose coming into the shop and ask 'you want you're usual mick', this without lifting his head from the hotplate!
The only break from the madness is when his elderly mother shuffles in with buckets of chips she peels and cuts by hand!
Looking at the decor and fittings, I'd guees it was built in the 50/60s and stayed that way, food is wrapped in blank newspaper and is quite honestly the best takeaway food I've ever had

Thanks for that story. Made me chuckle - the part where he talks to the burgers.

Didn't sound odd at all to this Yankee Jeannie, just delicious. Nothing there that is particularly unique to the South, all the phrases you used are pretty universal amongst all the "Colonies" I expect. Just the Continental difference between "The King's English" and, well... "The Queens's English" (?)
