Early Shift in the Battery

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

Gas ring spits and fizzes.

The chicken crossed the road.

But why?

Blue flame. Oil sizzles.

Bleary morning.

Yesterday we all got laid.

Lorry revs out of the depot.

Half a dozen cut price.

Roars down the motorway.

Night shift shelf stacks.

Long queues at the tills.

Looking for a chink in the cage.

Clipped wings and scrawny beaks.

Cracking the shell.

Salmonella on toast.

Yellow goo in a pool of glue.

Pecking at seed in the bottom of the cage.

Hatching breakfasts.

Late for work.

Out of the frying pan into the frying pan.

Good morning Britain!

Here is the news.

Sunny side up.

Which came first?
