Fish and the Fair

"It's been a quiet couple of weeks," said the lady at the new pet shop by the Blue Boar, when I popped in for some Bonios (actually, I had no choice about popping in - Islay has discovered that the nice lady behind the desk keeps a stash of biscuits to give out to passing hounds, so she just dives straight in, wagging her tail).
"The Fair has helped, though," she continued. "I've sold a lot of fish tanks and fish food." (which will be incomprehensible to anyone who has never been to a British fun fair - where live goldfish are a popular prize in the games of skill).
