Sorry to bother you but do you have a cup of sugar I could borrow? 'No problem! Are you sure that's enough? Could you use these courgettes and damsons as well? You'd be doing me a favour. Haha! Time of year again, isn't it?'; 'Would you believe it? I've literally just used my last cup of sugar, like, literally... just now'. *Closes the door muttering 'bloody parasites'
