I was having lunch at work and this Geordie I work with pointed at my flask and said "What's that mate?"

I said "It's a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold"

Next day he comes in and he's got a brand new thermos. I asked him what he had in it.

He said "Two choc ices, a sausage roll and a cup of tea"
