Draft storyOn the promenade

An Italian Scot gets the joke first

A joke can help you remember a good tip.

A draft: the words and pictures are waiting for an educator’s review.

Who’s in it

Meet everyone in Gullbrae

The story

Eddie, holding a long explanation sheet, talks to Angelo outside the parlour.

Outside the parlour, Eddie began a very grand explanation.

Angelo grins and points at a reusable shopping bag while Eddie is still explaining.

Angelo spotted the useful point before Eddie had finished.

Angelo and Eddie at a café table with a reusable bag between them.

He gave the point back in a few warm words of his own, and Eddie laughed.

May holds up a reusable bag beside Angelo.

May turned it into an everyday example: a bag that goes back to the shop.

May, Angelo and Eddie laugh together at the café table.

Eddie joined the laugh and said the useful message again, much more simply.

Angelo, Eddie and May stand together outside the parlour.

Three friends, three ways of talking, and one useful tip.

Draft, 19 October 2026. The words and pictures are not yet reviewed by an educator. The story follows the outline in our story guide.

The real-life bit

A short, friendly tip is easier to remember than a long speech. Taking a bag you already have to the shops saves a new one. Gullbrae is made up. Your council’s own rules are the ones to follow.
