A trip to a restaurant's toilets takes a devilish turn for the worst for one diner; Burnistoun's most persistent market researcher literally takes a lifetime to get some answers; and the latest addition to the Sarcastics Anonymous group finds the cutting comments hard to handle, ironically.

The Burnistoun boozer is buzzing with tall takes of local gangsters but Kelly McGlade's barmaid skills lack spirit after she takes exception to a punter's comments.

Also this week, the police demonstrate a foolproof interview technique which works purely by rearranging furniture.
