Sorry Sally? ...were you speaking to me? ...the pub? ...well I dont know that I should... Betty's been telling everyone I drink... when I can't and if she finds out I can't she'll probably find a new story to spread ...she's a bit put out because I have made friends with Bob... let me help you with that... she had her eye on Bob for Gillian who works for her you see and I seem to have become a rival... ...well perhaps just for a short while... |
