The idea for the Lashkar Gah story came from an overheard conversation in Asda’s.
I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether the speakers are men or women (does it matter).
I used a Scot’s language dictionary to check on spelling.
During that week there had been a number of news stories that are referenced in the discussions: Taliban fighting in Lashkar Gah, Niccola ‘nippy’ Sturgeon (First Minister of Scotland) making an announcement about lockdown restrictions easing, Bors Johnston (PM) visiting Scotland, and details of the climate conference being held in Glasgow later in the year.
