The only lady with purple hair that I can remember used to work in Freddie's fish shop. She was not above average size and could shake a salt shaker like a grasper of snakes! She wasn't too bad with the sauce bottle either. Al I am going to say about it is "Check ten Fred"
I seem to remember you and the other Gar using this saying, but can't remember the context. May have been in connection with Freddie's diminutive assistant (who may have been Mrs Freddie).
The other purple thing in the shop was an irregular ingredient in the burgers when you peeled back yon soggy batter.
