# mm ? # Ha , what # Could do # I'm not so sure about that one # It was good weren't it ? # But er Helen , she missed the best one , ah ? # It was better than the other one , it might of been the seats but I don't think so because I mean there was so much in this one # I mean the other was a nice story , but , I think this year's is better # Yeah it was more of a show than a story weren't it ? # But there was something # Yeah # Yeah # Yeah it did my feet ache now # I know # but I didn't know how cold it'll be , but # you see , no it isn't a brilliant idea but the thing is we didn't have much further to walk can we ? # We could of done # the what ? # yeah , you are , great # oh I put my half off , I doubt if I get my feet back in them , but , yeah # oh dear # ah so you are , sure you will , sure you will # One sleeve , oh # it's gonna be a good one you know # I can see it , you know , it looks it right # The what ? # Yeah , but it looks like it's gonna be good some of them # Well you'll have to decide I mean you # Yeah # mm # Yeah # Mm # Mm # terrific amount # mm # Yeah oh , oh , oh god well # Well that won't take long to unpick it will it ? # No # Yeah # Yeah , anyway once it's washed it's all gone anyway # so really that's not a problem # ha , ha , I bet you will , it won't take that long to unpick it though but I mean you've got a , quite a selection there to choose haven't you ? # Mm # Mm ? # Yeah , not much bigger job anyway , innit ? # Well I'll look , I'll see how much of that plum is left # you can't use that much can you ? # Plenty then innit ? # For that and # That's right , but I mean all I want it for is the erm # the body and use the black # That's right I think it looked very effective what that woman had on # so # Yeah it's nice innit ? # That would stand out wouldn't it ? # That would be nice , you won't want that much for the sleeve # of black , so , do anything with black for ages # Eh ? # Probably would # How much was it nine ? # Yeah it was nine , that's right , no it could be quite interesting actually , and then the other way # Yeah # Yeah , it's limitless innit , but the other way is to do right down the centre , one on one and one on the other # reverse it on the back or have the same on the back # Yeah # that's right , limitless innit ? # But it would be wise to use the plum before I got the cerise or the sea green # Yeah , of course it would , well it only sat there anyway again innit ? # Well we always do , I mean if you'd use all that was in that cupboard you'd have half a dozen jumpers # Yeah # Yeah , well there must be a fair amount of mohair # I mean that was an exceptionally good buy weren't it ? # Mm # Well I think , I'd just experiment # but you must yeah # That would be effective , but I mean you don't want to do any that you've got to unpick , no that # is not viable that # Mm # Mm , yeah I think it would # Mm # Yeah # Yeah # Yeah , yeah # Sort of mingle # Yeah # No # not like that no # Oh well , oh , as long as you don't have to unpick , because that is awful # It's just a mess innit after ? # Yeah , oh yeah , but as I say it's limitless really # especially with a # Yeah # Yeah # How much were they ? # Oh , that's not so bad is it ? # But there again you're buying again # Mm it certainly would , it doesn't have to be different colours # I can't remember # No I don't think there was two # I think there was only one because they only had one , and I got one white cos they only had one I think , it was the other colours I'm sure I'd got two of , I must of done , cos I mean I've used a lot myself don't I ? # No I , I would think the black and the white were one , but mind you it goes a long blinking way don't it ? # yeah but I think it was only one and one of those two , I , I'd picked the white up because there wasn't any black , for that first time # because I thought that was neutral didn't I ? # I don't know if I had them or not # Three hundred again I think it was it was six balls weren't it ? # Two , four , six # Have I used any black ? # I haven't have I ? # No # I dunno # I think it was fifty , I do , but I'm not sure oh perhaps if we can get over there at the end of the , well it's the end of the month next week anyway innit ? # I mean , you don't know what they've got over there now do you ? # I mean basically we go there and the meat shop don't we ? # There's not much else we want to look around at is there ? # Shoes I # yeah # Oh yeah # haven't got it right actually , I mean basically we can go up the top shop and buy what we like can't we ? # Get one , O nine , I mean providing you've got enough to do what you want to do in mohair # no you'd have to get all out and have a look , but I mean if I go over there I'll bring back a load of D K and I know I will we'll see . # You get the left overs # Six hundred , yeah # Yeah , well you see it's quite a point you know , cos if we go up the top shop , we just , well the most I would buy is four # Well that's what four pound and four nines # thirty six # mm , dunno well we'll see anyway , it depends on you and what you're doing # What , at the top shop ? # Yeah , that's a very old make you know , that one's been going for donkey years , but it's those colours , I mean there's at least , well with the o # Mm # Well I , I'm sure it wouldn't be , what did I say I said that sea green and the cerise # The mustard and the beigey one weren't it ? # Er oatmeal # Well that's , that's two jumpers each innit ? # I mean I've got plenty of black , so mustard and black whatever , whatever , cerise and black or something , that's daft really you know # I mean nine times out of ten we erm , we just go over there and buy what's there # regardless when we come back well what are you going to make with it ? # Yeah , no well I think that , thinking about it seriously now # Without a well ? # Oh I see # What like a sweat top or some of them does # but I er # Yeah yeah , yeah # Or anything and it's very versatile # No , thinking about it seriously it would be better to go up there , have a swifty through patterns you know , you need a bit of time # you need a bit of time # Oh , that was when I was waiting in the queue weren't it ? # Mm , it really # Yeah , it really is stupid having all these left overs , alright as I said before I can make all that kid stuff , but in the end I've got too much to take over # No # Anyway I mean I've got a fair pile now to take in August ain't I ? # No I , well the , the colours that I like you know the cerise and the # the green , I can , I , he's says to buy four of them without thinking about it cos they're so nice and that's really the thing that we don't do when we go to Basingstoke we start going around saying well which one shall I have , but they said that you haven't looked at it like I've looked at those and you looked at yours because that oatmeal colour will be very , very handy for erm sticking with anything and everything # Well I mean I've looked round here for a pair of blinking shoes , the only trouble here er had over here is that I've got to go somewhere where they're wide enough and that's # Littlewoods innit ? # The only ones here that did a wider fitting that one , er at the time I bought some , well those with the gold on the back was Stead and Simpson and they did a wider fitting , but I don't know anybody else , but they may now # they may now , but erm , I mean these I've got on are Williams , they're an E fit that I , I particularly sent away for # Well I don't want to do that any more cos you've got to wait three damn weeks nearly for the blasted things to come and then if they're no good you've got to send them back . # No , anyway those plimsolls they're , they're alright # now I said the others , they've got to be lace-ups though look , it's gotta be lace-ups # Yeah because I mean if there , if you've got a high instep it still don't matter because you only widen your laces don't you ? # Well perhaps I'll have a look in town next Friday then , I could definitely do with a pair # oh dear # yeah # yeah yeah we do cos it's there innit ? # Quite right # Mm # Mm , same , the same situation as those clothes # weren't it ? # Oh I didn't like them I was , I could see them riding up the leg just like that pair I had on that day and in the end they look so grey and they look like # Eh ? # yeah # Yeah they do but they , those others I was quite , you didn't try them on so I # buy one tomorrow but the material is better and the shape is better # and the stirrups are nice # Yeah # Yeah they have , but there was people the other night with that type trouser on and boots # Yeah when I went in the ladies loo there was one woman in there and they did look nice # Yeah well there again like I said before I tend to rub the cord and then they all # Yeah I know # Yeah I've got mine back on now # I've got mine back on , but it won't be long when I get out the bus mind , but # I said I'll put my shoes back on but I don't know what my feet will be like when I get out the bus # It's just as # Yeah , that's , that's fair , yeah , just a different proposition innit ?

# So one went right across the pavement . # Now added to that by our wall there was this ruddy great lorry again it's a great bit thing with an open back right ? # We a long # open back . # So they park that up on the pavement outside our wall didn't come to our gate but , and then didn't it obstruct Alan's because they had it on the pavement , so anybody going down the pavement # had to go out in the road ! # So I said to Mick I'm sure that's illegal . # Well he don't know ! # Anyway , so banging doors people galore ! # So come yesterday there was people going and all this business and it ended up with just her car and one red one then the red one goes out she goes with the woman they're outside there two of those bloody King Charles ! # And they were in the front room going wild ! # Then the afternoon , we'd had lunch anyway I'd got up out the chair , I was so bloody livid ! # I got up out the chair and er went out the front door and I said to her for God's sake it's Sunday ! # What do you mean ? # I said well hell well you've got them going in there full pelt you don't go in there to stop it ! # And she said I can't hear them when I'm outside . # And I said , everybody can hear when they're walking down the pavement ! # And er I said to her , you know , you must realise that when we're in here we can hear , no , you'd of thought they was in around our feet ! # Well I can't hear them ! # She had the door open at the moment with these bloody dogs yapping and she looked at me and said I can't hear them ! # So , I said to her right , I said you wanna be in here live in here I said I'll invite you in ! # And she went in and shut the door ! # Well wha , that's it ! # Mick said to me , what did she say ? # What did she say ? # So I told him ! # And I said , you know , quite honestly Sandra she does nothing to stop these dogs . # Well I wonder if she's got a hearing problem , she'd never says she has . # But you think come on ! # I mean ! # I mean she had the door , the front door open ! # At that # Oh ! # So have I ! # Well , I said to Mick , he's just got up now . # Oh , I said to him look I said she obviously a person that takes no notice , but she lives out in the country . # Because she's in there ! # When it goes on inside , she's in there ! # She said I can't # hear it when I'm out here . # So I said , well that's it ! # I know he don't this Sandra and I don't care a sod ! # Bloody had a gutful of her ! # I mean , for a start I don't think she should have four dogs shout out in there all the hours that they are ! # And er I'm not saying they're ill treated cos they're probably not , but there's different ways of ill treating isn't there ? # Certainly ! # No . # Well I haven't seen her . # I saw her that one night look take one of those little ones going up the road but I've , I mean . # All these people there this weekend and I've not seen one dog go out ! # And I mean you don't just stand at your window but at some time or other # Well they must be ! # It's only a three bedroomed bloody semi after all ! # Yeah ! # Yep ! # So I said to him , right I said we either go I mean I keep saying to him you've gotta do something about this ! # Either this plaster board holes or whatever the house well the trouble is it costs such a lot of money # you know , and we are , we have got that insulating lot . # Oh it's she's cantankerous ! # She's whatever you say don't wanna know ! # Well I was bloody livid ! # I was really livid ! # Well th the bloke but I mean he's not attached . # But he's out . # He's out # No ! # But he he always at work or somewhere ! # You know , I mean he's only a single bloke . # Hiya Doreen ! # But I mean this week er this weekend er , Mr died opposite erm , they've got a , a detached house there and erm somebody went # Did you ?

# But , I mean being in their seventies , well he's eighty now ! # Erm they spend lots of afternoons sat # out there . # I was bloody livid ! # I just got up , got out of the chair and went . # I was absolutely furious ! # And then she turned round and said well I don't hear it ! # And I said , no but you have the door open # and these doors were going on , like they're seeing this wild woman off ! # Well I thought I don't but # No , I say I won't leave it now , if I get much more of it then it's the environmental health ! # But she's one of those cantankerous types ! # But er # Thanks . # Well that's it ! # You know ,an and Mick said to me # you know , I mean they were so good when they came here but I mean they've been shut in for months now ! # Months and months ! # So I mean , in the end even animals can get cheesed off ! # No I've gotta give my arm a rest . # Oh well , up a bit . # No , I say she'll er she'll have to do something about it cos Mick said well , he just said to me no he said well what can she do ? # Erm she'll have to get rid of them . # I said , she won't to let them bloody in ! # I mean that's what they say about Julia that time weren't it ? # Well when I went to Citizen's Advice tha that lady said I don't think it's viable to have four dogs in a semi- detached anyway ! # That was a vet so # Yeah . # Yeah . # I bet my water . # Well who's is that one then ? # Well if it was on the floor and somebody wants it they'll have to have it won't they ? # What's that ? # Gone through the now . # It's no wonder er that's the er dearest show or the most expensive show they've ever done costume-wise really . # Very fabulous ! # Beautiful ! # Even in those seats we had were . # Wembley , yeah . # Yeah . # The seats were fantastic ! # That's the one I liked best , the man in the blue . # Yeah , that's the one Bev liked liked best and the merry-go-round that's just in there cos of the fair # and there's the one that linked right round . # I mean that was they dimmed the lights so that they're not all erm silvery grey at one stage . # I mean , it was a job to say which one # Yeah , that's the one that went over # that was the fair . # But erm but the whole the point about this show was three partners had stopped near the door the whole ice was covered with people who and er apart from the juggler an and you know bits # like that , but but that isn't the woman . # That isn't the woman . # It was a blonde haired woman . # But obviously she was the star when they . # But the actual main star is this one . # He was . # Lovely when they ! # You know , the production ? # I'm sure they did do it well . # All that time must of had a ball ! # I thought that was so this is , we had a bad night's sleep ! # I would have said while I was putting out my washing cos I did it last night on purpose for the gas man coming in . # They're all asleep next door ! # No ! # No ! # Anyway ,and I have one for Connie , that's the little girl over . # Yeah . # Was one , there's two now . # And so she's on medicine . # Erm I know , like you do these and er I mean I , I've heard about Alan and Sue for a long time , I know they're having a lot of bother , you know with the decorating and all that . # But she's got in there , well I hope Alan and Sue can settle now . # Apparently , a lot of the trouble they had was her father ! # He says him to go to work and look after the kid . # Well they got two kids now but the , it was then , you know ? # And er Alan apparently wants to go to Spain and Alan said well I'm not bloody working there , as he said , I don't wanna earn money like that ! # And course , they had ,with us you know at one time and now they've got that holiday again now , so I mean none of them would of been cheap when they did it . # And er I didn't realise that you know , the father had . # said about it . # I didn't bloody know , I worked it out . # Well he knows he can er , start off # Oh ! # Doreen ?

But it was , it was very good ! # But it shows the difference between last year and this year . # When we went up to th , we had coffee and Mick had a bottle of beer erm , before we went in and and last year , well you wouldn't of go , dreamed of getting a seat in that restaurant area ,yo you wouldn't ! # Now , this year we # and there was a spare table . # And , the people that were milling around us when you're trying to drink a cup of coffee stood up last year it was just the , you know , people are not # Yes . # Well I don't think so . # I'd have to ask Mick but I don't think so . # Oh certainly ! # Certainly , because erm I say it's you know , it's sort of an extra innit ? something innit ? # You know ? # And er but you could see it . # I mean it's a huge place Doreen ! # Erm , probably the ice hockey or whatever like that they # but there was a hell of a lot of ! # Yep ! # Yep ! # Oh yeah ! # Yeah . # Yeah . # Nice place though ! # It's a nice though . # You know , for sitting and that . # Well we don't know where we are in that do we ?

# Oh yeah ! # Yeah , I know that when I # Mm . # Well course , there's gonna be a certain amount of all in the same day isn't there ? # You know , I mean # Well was there weren't he ? # Yeah ! # Well er # Yeah ? # Mm . # Yeah . # Oh I know ! # Well # well that's right ! # Where was that person where we went erm we went somewhere # Was it , David ? # Dave was being . # . # Well I dunno where it was . # How are you ?

# So that's for somebody else then ? # Seven pound # It was over seven pound . # Yeah . # Yeah . # Well then I did didn't I ? # I did . # Well I wonder if there's anywhere else you know ? # I mean I could definitely do with these sides done . # Oh I'll try it . # Try it . # You didn't ! # Why's that then ? # Well I dunno , you aren't bothered about a job are you ? # Well if if you don't want it say no Bev ! # What is it then ? # Leave it then . # Yeah I know , but it's no good if you're gonna get yourself uptight about it ! # Just gonna go and on though aren't you ? # Well you can always say you can't do it , you've got divorced innit ? # I I , there's no point Bev if it's gonna bother you ! # I'm telling you now ! # I thought you were yesterday . # I thought were a little bit uptight . # What is it then ? # Yeah . # Well ,cos if it's any good , . # Who knows ! # Mm . # You got a couple of letters here . # Yeah . # Well I should make your mind up Bev , here and now . # You really must ! # If you prefer not I'll , I'll say # I know you want it Bev but it's no good getting yourself uptight ! # It's no good at all ! # No good at all ! # Just waffle on and be done . # It's to be expected really . # What ? # Well no , you must make your mind up love . # Yay or nay I mean there's only a possibili , what is the thing you don't know how to do ? # What is it then ? # I mean , it seem to me it would be an ideal one if # if , if , from what she says . # So you take the bull by the horns or you don't ! # Or you don't . # But if yo if yo let it get you down then you don't . # Mhm . # Well that's what it is , apprehension's made that happen . # Certainly . # Well , I say , he tend to go at eleven and three , so think about it . # I mean , from the sound of it she's answers the telephone , does a bit of typing and # Mm . # Does a bit of typing . # So why not ? # I understand that totally . # But I think it's take the bull by the horns # and I mean let's face it you might not like it ! # You might not you might get there and you might say oh I don't like this ! # But that can be the same anywhere couldn't it ? # If you come up my place . # Which I'm sure you wouldn't like would you ? # Well I suppose if you want to work then the first one is # Ay ? # Mm ! # Certainly is ! # But I say , I'm sure your capable of taking the bull by the horns . # Oh well ! # I mean er that's why I never done the yesterday . # I mean , it's not that she's probably gonna go after it but I , you know , who knows ! # I mean they know up there because of the , of theirs . # But they'll probably rather annoying at the moment . # Innit ? # Well I think it's If you want it . # Yes , that's right . # I mean , as I say , you might get there and you might hate it anyway . # No . # No , another he said was that bloke came in later . # What was that man's name ? # Clive ? # Clive ? # I mean unless they get a temp from an agency they gonna want somebody aren't they ? # Sounds to me as though they're just sell stuff , I I don't know ! # But it sounds to me as though it's taking something off the telephone , which is simple innit ? # And erm a bit of couple of letters typed . # I mean , the re at the least you could go and have a look I suppose if # He never said . # He honestly never said . # It seemed to me it were the type of place you could sit and do your knitting . # If she's sat watching them she's pregnant but if she'd have sat watching Neighbours and she weren't able to was she ? # And he did say to me well he has spoken to me about it , he did say answering the telephone . # He said that . # As I say , I've only met her the once . # And she come up in the car for him once . # But I mean the first step is always the hardest . # I mean , if that don't only apply to you . # But er if you want it an and it's then no harm in going and having a look ! # Is there ? # Like I say , the choice is yours hundred percent ! # You don't have to . # Well the butt of it then has gotta be go over . # I mean if , if she wanted you to go out there today , just if then the sensible is to pick up a taxi . # Certainly ! # I mean I went , I'm i if it's the place where we said it is then , I mean it I know we went through Thicket , yes I do ! # Cos I saw their horses and which I think are Moira's . # But I mean you know what I'm like in a car I just sit there and then then your father turned in and there was all these , where we went to get the carpet , you know ? # And that is as much as I can sort of remember . # But I really don't take much notice anyway , sat in a car . # I don't . # Still as I say , no ,th it's , it's a fair comment to say it's to be expected . # But if you can overcome that you know , by saying ah what the hell ! # It's either this or nothing which , which it is and if you want it I mean Lesley's not bothered about it cos he's giving her seven hundred quid a blooming month ! # Well neither would you if yo , somebody give you seven hundred quid a month ! # Neither would I ! # For God's sake ! # I wouldn't get up at six , put the washing out and then go up there ! # Thinking . # Well she says it's guilt money and that is possible . # But , I think you're quite right in what you say . # Quite right ! # No doubt about that . # You never know with what she said anyway . # Unpredictable . # But I mean , knowing her the the the sa , the money she's had she will erm certainly look after . # You know ? # I mean she's been living off what seventy three odd quid has she ? # So I mean there isn't anyway in the world that she's gonna bank seven hundred quid a month ! # No way at all ! # She'll er make the most of that because she won't possibly money for erm # she'll want money for the deposit and and whatever she gets . # Has there been much noise today ? # Well I did it on the way . # Why not ? # And stupid git there should of popped those in there ! # Really stupid ! # Could of done that easily couldn't I ? # There's plenty time weren't there ? # Yeah ! # Yeah , they did like it . # But I say , you have to be there to appreciate it don't you ? # You know ? # Sorry ? # Mm mm . # We can go on Sunday . # Was she in there ? # She's very isn't she ? # I can hear it now . # Do you ? # Well the red car innit ? # I'll try her again and this time let it all come out . # Impress on them that you don't wanna come out with it short . # Can you ?

# And I tell you , I don't know what this is . # Or if it's gonna occur but it seems to me it would , or sounds like it would be a simple let in to the # to the situation . # Erm that's only what I heard , that's all ! # I don't think it's a massive place that you know , I I just think it's like a warehouse thing . # A . # A might be the word . # I don't know ! # But it was no different from me starting work up here that time # after so long , which it was a long time . # Course it isn't ! # It ju it's just the same . # But in the end I had to do it didn't I ? # Well you have to do it . # If the circumstances are such you have to do it . # And er I say , that well purely taking the bull by the horns innit ? # Really ? # It's for your own benefit because # whatever it pays if it's , if it's better will pay more than obviously what you're gonna get from either or . # Then go in or # Yeah , I know you still get his . # Well you ca # Mm mm mm . # That's right . # But nevertheless you know , if you could get it and you could manage it it will relieve the bloody boredom wouldn't it ?

# But er no I say , the choice is yours . # Certainly ! # Well that , the first step's some when will have to be taken # Certainly will ! # But then , I mean a actually I mean as I said , Lesley ain't that bothered because of what he's giving her # but at the same time she's got all lethargic cos # cos she won't even go out with Jenny , look ! # I mean , I say , still again , I don't know whether she swims or she doesn't but nevertheless it's an invitation out innit ? # Well any of it ! # Well even if you went and watched . # There was # there was people watching over the balcony last week . # I saw them ! # But I say I believe in in one respect alright , she's got the car she can whip in and out but I do believe in another respect she's got to the point where she can't be bothered ! # And it's so easy to sit every day innit ?

# What ? # Well if I erm # What ? # Oh we'll see . # I'll take that , I'll readdress that letter and # and that can go in the box can't it ? # Normally , I say , I don't see the point of staying in for this . # I know we've gotta go out tomorrow but then if we don't go down there today we're not gonna go this week . # Yeah . # It's dirty , it runs out black . # That's a new , brand new tap that is . # Brand new tap . # I don't know who you do that # That'll be a job for Tim won't it ? # I just hope that that boy # I mean he # he said he understood why we wanted to do it . # But # Yeah you can # Yeah , that's all we've got left . # Yeah well I mean with all this noise and that you don't feel like doing much do you ? # Anyway I talked to Ann about this this morning and we've come to the decision to leave it on because that's what we did in the in the erm # in the ha in the what's name there and it might be a better idea because it's not . # So if we start pulling them about which is cos I said to her about the hall and if I don't scrub it all off we're gonna have to erm gonna have to do the hall and er I said we've got to try to put it on because the walls are so ooh bitty you know what I mean ? # And er I really feel that , you know , you can make yourself more bloody trouble cos that's what happened to Helen next door . # When she got the erm paper off in the erm er er in the hall , she found it all fell apart . # All the walls fell apart . # I've done this before , but I mean Tim will have to have a look at it when he # if it , if we can't , oh it's the dustman # dustman innit ? # I've got a bucket yeah , why ? # Oh . # Oh a kettle should do , after that lot . # If we can get that lot sorted # and then you can use the kettle can't you ? # Yeah ? # ? # Right I'll leave that there . # No I'm afraid this Des is # a very peculiar character , I just find it all so peculiar . # And I mean Dee said to me this morning cos she heard us one morning # well Des , she heard Des look talking about it and er she said has she heard anything and I said no , I said not fully but more or less we stayed in yesterday cos you said shall we go out didn't you ? # And I said more or less we stayed in but not a word . # And I say there was some sort of a an embarrassment I can only call it # today . # All this whistling and # nervous , yeah . # Bit of singing and and that sort of thing . # Well they wanna , don't matter to me at all I just think they're dodgy characters . # And you know they don't pay the poll tax and you you've been told almost you can do it on casual . # You got to think about it ain't you ? # Eh ? # Well you wouldn't do it , no . # Too much bloody worry , I mean we've never done anything like that anyway . # I say it's like him him not paying his poll tax . # If he's gonna do things like that he wants to keep his gob shut doesn't he ? # You know ? # I just can't understand . # But mind you he can't keep his gob shut , so I do understand you know that er # that is the way he is . # He's full of gut really . # But anyway if they did phone now I think it's very bad practice if she's leaving tomorrow # cos Sandra said why the hell has she left so late ? # You know I mean it must be three weeks now till she has it . # She said you don't normally do that . # Well that's what she said , fortnight either way actually . # Just exactly what Sandra said . # So she been in next door has she , all , the whole morning ? # Yeah well of course only just gone from last bloody night haven't they ? # I mean she seems to fill the bloody house with people every day of the week . # Certainly some strange goings on in there I reckon . # Some people what ? # Help what ? # Yeah but it's such a strange bloody house innit ? # Don't know what's going on in there do you ? # If it picked up , if he finds what I think he could probably find us I mean he knows precisely what we want and # Yes but as I said before he now has heard it so # he knows what we want to eliminate . # I'm sure he will . # What about the animals this morning then ? # Well probably cos somebody'd been with them . # Innit ? # Well if they're not left continually on their own they've got a bit of company haven't they ? # That's the point . # But when they're left totally on their own for hours and hours . # Well make the veg if I do that . # The woman what ? # Yeah ? # Went up the garden ? # What were they doing then ? # Got a chicken and a bloody rabbit up there . # Well there was . # Whether there still is , I mean I used to hear the chicken making a ruddy noise . # I mean obviously you won't hear the rabbit but I don't think I'm gonna stay in anyway . # Alright so we'll be out two days there's # nothing to do . # I mean we even get bored with the knitting . # Eh ? # Mm . # What's the ? # Oh But I mean I get to work I'm so bloody tired . # I'll get those earplugs out for night times if it's necessary . # What ? # Yeah . # No we can shove that in the box . # Don't know what it is , don't need to open it do we ? # I know he's , he's up there this weekend . # What ? # Oh they brought that back in . # He's gotta work Bev , he's not doing enough . # He's not doing enough , he had one bad result another # No you didn't did you ? # Couple of decent ones and one bad one . # And his average is sixty two percent . # Sunday but I mean I'm not sure , I'll say it now , I'm not sure I'm certainly not sure he's doing enough . # If you think about it if you think about it I've probably # where he is up and down , up and down and people are in and out and # well I'm sorry but from where I'm looking at it sixty two but not that I've thought about it in any depth but # Oh yeah . # Probably touting for business , that's all it is . # Barclays have lost a load of money . # Yeah . # It's in the freezer , there's a packet # And I say if you do the spuds just well , if they start to go brown inside chuck them . # Cos it goes right the way through . # There's a lot of out to the hospital though innit ? # Well I think we'll have to find somewhere to lock it , well Danny says there's places all over . # Yeah . # Could get a , quite a a good deal I would have thought somewhere . # Well why not ? # Yeah that's a good idea . # No . # Well see what they say . # Is there anything in here I've gotta get out ? # things # No . # But you need some more onion # the potato will be on the top anyway so that won't matter will it ? # No # Oh well we can do that then . # That'll be simpler anyway won't it ? # It'll be a pot of potatoes but I should put some onion in there though . # Cos he'll want that . # And your meat yeah . # Well that'll be a bit simpler won't it ? # Could that be done in a pot ? # Well a pot will be simpler for when we get back if she's in of course but # Mind you get your tea . # I think we need a breather anyway . # Yeah . # It's beautiful innit ? # Well yeah # Screw yeah . # Well # This but this is twenty five pounds worth there . # I mean it was only months ago cos it's only a while ago that Tim came . # I saw that down there again . # I should chuck another one in , what difference does it make ? # Yeah that is it . # I mean there is a lot of wall space here that is not wall look . # but I can't see the point of doing vinyl on that anyway I really cannot . # Here I'll tell you what oh yeah no , alright if you have that # I can have er Emma Freud explores the unspoilt i island of Belize . # That'll be interesting I # It's erm # Travelogue half past eight till nine . # Mm . # Is she ?

# Gotta be , there a , it's a complex really because nobody will agree , erm , give , bringing up a kid will they ? # Nobody and I don't ever think people will bring up somebody else's the same as they would their selves , I , I don't think it's possible for anybody to do it , I mean look at Julia when she was a , that childminder with that Kerry # Julia didn't care a sod about that kid , she'd let her to scream on , stand in the middle of the garden screaming , indoors screaming and she said to me I have no feelings for her whatsoever but she took the bloody money every week and this is what's so wrong , nobody knows how she er was as that child , only people like us who would hear # and all Julia wanted was more and more and more money , there was a conflict on how many gran children she could have and sometimes she had five in there , one of them which was then very small which she had to spend time feeding and that and that was Kerry # well those others , three of those , somebody else's children plus her own ran total riot out in the garden , but I mean there's not enough people to come round and do spot checks even if they're allowed , I don't know whether they're allowed to , but they've # No I don't , but nevertheless nobody knew only people like us and the neighbours , how that kid was every day when her mother to the T S B and her mother according to Julia had her because it was the done thing her mother , her own mother wouldn't have her , Kerry to look after her and I know that for a fact because one time when Ross was ill , Julia said I can't have her and she said oh god I suppose I've got to go and beg my mother to have her now she did , but the woman said to Julia , I mean she wouldn't give up her job , they had a four bedroomed house , two bloody great cars , eleven cats # and er , I mean what she saw of Kerry was , she dropped her here at quarter to nine , she picked her up between five and half past and the rest of her she saw around kid , the rest of the time she saw her own kid and er Julia was to have her until she went to school , so I mean how can there be any bond there , which there can't , but the mother said herself I had her because it was the done thing so I mean it's , it's today innit don't you think ? # I mean all that kid do was scream , scream , scream , scream , I mean Ross wasn't the best one to be with , cos he was selfish and of course in Julia's eyes he never did any wrong but Kerry come off worse all the time and I said childminding is fine and it's necessary but the people , you know that , that people can't know people and Julia was a spoilt brat so # I mean you must , if you're looking after a little girl , you must in the end , unless you've low and detest children , or unless you're out purely and simply for the money , I mean how can you # well how can you not get somewhat attached to a child , I mean of course there's children you don't like , like adults you don't like # That's what I mean # Julia felt nothing for that child , she didn't like her , she didn't hate her , I mean she , she didn't she just felt nothing cos that's precisely what she told me , that's her words , not mine , you know and I find then , that , she shouldn't be a childminder # that's my instant reaction , instant # that Julia wanted money more , more money , I mean he worked every hour that god gave at , so his money must of been decent , had to be # oh I don't know cos Julia was living with a bloke before that , I don't think they'll of had any say in it # and from what I understood he was already married anyway , never , never was mentioned here , but I did hear it , whether it was true or not I'm not say it , but I was told that he was already married and divorced to marry her , that was what I was told , no I mean I don't know , but but I'm damn sure that I know # That's alright , play with it , there's no point in saying anything to them Bev it's now got to be proven and I say , if I can get it done and I can get it sent off , then they will point me in the right direction won't they ? # That's the , that's the whole point , you , you have to start somewhere , yes I can give her a bit of paper , yes she can throw it in the bin , it's made no difference , in fact I think it's getting worse since I spoke to her , isn't it ? # She's had more people in there , the dogs have been left more hours that # Fair comment , but this week she was on holiday , didn't stop her and going and leaving them poor dogs in there barking their heads off and crying , for seven and a half hours did it ? # I mean poor dogs and this , I mean we've said it all before it's not viable , four dogs and a semi that you don't exercise , four dogs that er appear particularly one of them to be housed in the same little area , day in day out with a curtain on the door , so that there's not even light going in there # That's what ? # So that he can't see what's going on , cos she thinks if he don't see what's going on he won't bark , but he cries but I mean she shouldn't have them there , she's never here so she shouldn't have them , I mean look at the trouble Alan had to get Jessie , because they worked , but Emma goes home every lunch time to see to Jessie from the bank , but I mean the woman one of them wouldn't let her have a dog , one kennels , which is how it should be , but I mean this one breed those three herself so , yeah I mean if you breed dogs yourself and you have three in the house of the same breed , what the hell do you want an alsatian for , as well but the whole point is she don't have them as enjoyment , she don't have them as company # They're their , their animals that's all like that chicken up the garden I mean I don't know what it's in , might be in a run , but being the place that is in behind that shed , there ain't that much space with a rabbit as well is there , you know , I mean , there might be a run on the floor , it'll be crazy to have a run on the floor because she's had rats # ain't she ? # And she's had rats under that shed it ain't that long ago she said , she said she had them so I mean I can't see anybody with an ounce of common sense letting a chicken being on the ground , ground # who knows I don't know , I wouldn't , but who knows ? # You're back to that situation of commonsense again ain't you ? # Won't she ? # Safe from cuts , good heavens # probably the er , poll tax are # Right , that was worth it , weren't it ? # I think oh he's left out there his # Oh it's bubbling away nice # What again ? # Oh watch that dish , it's a bit hot that dish right # no , just towels , good one , right whip it out for me then please , I'll have to leave it there because some of this is , still out there , ta well that's not bad , time wise # Oh I bet these kids find this thrilling you know , don't you ? # Barking dogs next door barking dogs next door again , so I shall , plenty of material shouldn't we ? # Subject to material # Yeah # That's what she's supposed to do according to the Citizens Advice Bureau , is to control them so that she don't annoy the neighbours # Now Sunday when I had her about that terrific barking , your father was the first to say , look she stopped it # but she lets them bark on like she lets the kids scream on , and that is today innit ? # I think basically what it comes down to , it doesn't bother her # so she doesn't care about anybody else # It can't bother her Bev because the amount of noise that we get through the walls is so bad and she's in it , she's actually there with the animals barking , so she takes no notice whatsoever of them # she's probably bloody used to it after all the years she must of had them , she tells # she tells me they're all old dogs # Well # the way she said it that day was , they're old dogs , they don't need the exercise and they don't bark , that is the impression , impression I got # Now what's that point to spend an afternoon here no point at all is there ? # Well there isn't any more is there ? # Sorry ? # what out in the garage ? # I dunno , right let me do this and then I'll have a look I mean I've got to do this because I'm not sure of it , # done now innit ? # I wouldn't wanna do it tomorrow , well only later afternoon but I mean if I have to put ear plugs in at night to get some sleep because of them , surely the authorities have gotta say something about that # well for god's sake , I mean I often wonder about people who make noise like this how they would feel if we did do the same , but I still say because we've done our polystyrene insulation she can't hear us , it's worked in the reverse ain't it ? # Instead of us , you know , instead of it blocking out for our benefit , I reckon it blocked out for their benefit somehow a hell of a lot of insulation , in here # a hell of a lot really , normally you wouldn't have the vinyl and normally I would think you would only put the tongue and groove not out of the polystyrene behind it and the vinyl , I can't see why people want tongue and groove that they go to all those lengths would you ?

# Mm ? # Mm ? # Yeah . # Yeah . # Well tha , that's right ! # I mean erm I # Yeah . # That's right ! # Yeah . # Well Alan did it here one , one time . # And it wasn't us . # Yes I do know what you mean . # Well # Yeah . # But it might do something . # I know what you're meaning . # Ay ? # Well # Yeah . # It , I think he got out and I I do he , I said to you and your father how he got out I just dunno ! # Cos it's a very difficult road this . # But I think he did probably just , because when I got up er when I co , you see when I come down the stairs I can see through that window look # and Alan's light was on in the hall , call it the hall and the car was there well a little while later he went . # I think he got out but I don't think it would have been easy , there's that time this morning . # And , I've never known these people put the car down by George's ! # So , knowing Alan , do you remember somebody used to park their car in front of Alan's gate when they went to London ? # And he left a note on the windscreen . # But I mean Alan has to go up to London ! # It's not long after six o'clock in the morning that he leaves . # But er , I fully understand what you're saying . # Really ! # Yeah . # Yeah ! # Yeah ! # Yeah . # But another thing is you see where Sandra lives , you saying that where she lives is apparently erm P C , now I don't know him , but she does he lives up the same road and when people park didn't she tell you this when we were coming down ? # Oh Sandra over here ? # Yeah . # Yeah . # Yeah . # Oh yeah , that'd do it ! # But , what I was gonna say was concerning them blocking these pavements if the # You were there when she said about P C . # Well if we had some I know there's two policemen up round the corner here . # Cos they walk down here , here # Well P C I think is an older policeman . # Mm . # These are two young-uns I reckon they lodge up here somewhere . # Not this road but round where Colin and # Ay ? # You what ? # Who did ? # Yeah , she did didn't she ? # I forgot that . # Yeah . # Yeah . # But you see somebody like P C , being an older person he does it properly I suppose , is what # the answer is . # He goes and knocks people's door and says you're blocking the pavement ! # Well if he'd have come down here that night , or that day when there was three cars in in the drive and one right across the pavement , and then that that big lorry on the pavement he'd have had them wouldn't he ? # Went to bed and er of course the kid went berserk didn't he ? # And er god you should of heard him , god if it ain't Ross all over again , mummy , mummy and she left him there , as I said when they first came he was in the far bedroom , well now I suppose with all these people she's rearranged it indoors and he's in the one next to our house , and she's shouting at him and er it went on how , I can't tell you how long , I mean , Bev and I was talking through bedrooms you know # and er , it was gone eleven I would of thought , anyway he stopped and I slept like a log , got up at twenty past six , but erm , it's a strange thing because one of those came last evening and it parked outside George's , now I said yesterday , when Alan goes to work , it's not long after six normally to go up to London and that # and I said to both of them , I just don't know how he got past that second car in the road right , come out of his drive , I couldn't believe that he could of done it , but he did , because he went you know # anyway last night , they parked outside George's so I reckon , I mean it's only us thinking he's put a note in the door because he will do this , because when a bloke used to leave his car outside Alan's gate , others , instead of the station # Alan left a note on his windscreen # but er , I don't know how he got out yesterday and I've never , never know him parked down the road , not at all , anyway we got , I got home and erm , I said to Bev you know , right go and phone Lesley see if she's in and then I did a bit of housework and then the phone rang , ooh , we was aiming to go out at one and that must of been ten to one , and it was Liz # and er I said to Bev well you do what you like , you know , she went out , the first time she's answered the phone , since # Anyway er Liz said can you come over like today so Bev said yes what does it entail ? # Liz got quite cross you know she's quite oh bugger it , you know , and er she said to Liz what's the hours ? # Oh I dunno you'll have to talk to Ian , she said I've been working Les done , er Les , Les told me eleven till three , it was half past eleven till three and er , so Bev was alright # Yes , well Bev was asking , I mean I was doing housework , oh , I was doing bits and pieces you know , and er getting me coat and all that and er she was asking questions and all that and Liz said I'll pick you up at twenty past eleven , so Bev said alright then , so she come off the phone said she'd go and have a look and apparently erm , it must of been yesterday if , if Liz is telling the truth she said to whoever are you going to do anything about this ? # And he said oh yeah , so , I said to Bev well , they had the feeling it was haphazard or whatever the word be , anyway # she's going over at half past eleven and she said to me if it's not worth the money I'm not changing and er , I shall tell him that I've certainly got to go on the books you know # can't do it any other way , so I said oh I'll go and have a look , I've got to go down town and # that's right # that's right , I mean she's , she's took some money , or taken some money if , I mean she'll be home twelve o'clock if it don't suit her like # she'll only get a taxi , if er , she thinks it not viable , but er , it , it to me , it just seems not buggering about , but # There are # Mm # Mm # Yeah , well I mean I don't know what she's been earning this Liz , but # oh where we going today then ? # yeah # God knows , I don't , well so we'll see # we was late weren't we ? # Or later # Did er # did erm , did he ask you if you had a roof rack ? # No # A roof rack , he wants to borrow one for Sunday , cos Susan's coming back look , anyway she asked me and I said no we've never had one , I don't think we ever had , I said I'll ask Doreen , so I asked Doreen and she said yes we have , but I'd have to ask Leslie first , so when Dee come back I said yes she has , but don't say anything to her cos you might not get it , but she's not getting that . # Morning Doreen # Mm # Oh I know what I was gonna say # Norman Gates , they're trying to clo close Norman Gates # Oh dear me # there's a person down the bottom , you know in Paul's old house , their little kid goes there , I didn't know nothing about it . # I think they are actually yeah yeah I don't know # What Walberdeen ?

# And that would be alright in a , in a bathroom you know # Has he ? # well I said to him # look I said I don't mind vinyl , I don't mind good vinyl the only good , the only one that , it was good for the toilet , but I got it in a pack cos we've got such a small single toilet # I got it in a pack outside Fads # but if you believe the proper price # I mean it was just three rolls # Yeah # Well I said to him look , I said I know I'm fed up with this thing next door , and I don't want to stay there , but Alan said that I've got to stay there , right , so I said to him , you know , we have to start doing something and I said to him something permanent because he ain't a handy man , I mean he'll do it , because I mean it's something like measuring steel innit ? # Let's be honest # but I said to him , I'll go and buy vinyl and we can come back into the same position , and he ain't no good at sticking vinyl up , I always go round with a bloody # then I have to do something I suppose before we look round it'll be August we'll be off to Malta # and then he'll look round and # So quick and he said alright then I erm , I said well where shall we go and he said there's plenty of places # to buy wood # As I say next we're getting this Phillip's # We've got one there # Yeah , where is that builders that # Thatcham ?

# He said stand there # with the hose of the vacuum cleaner with the nozzle on # so while he's drilling # Of course he's tried to get under a polythene sheet to contain it # it was hot , it was dust in that hammer drill , god it makes a noise , it did , it certainly saved a lot though # it filled the hoover bag twice , the old vacuum cleaner # But if , if he hadn't been doing that # Well if we want this kitchen , well a lot of it is tiled anyway you know part ways up , erm I said to him whatever it costs , it'll be done # Yeah # Bye # I do I # I never heard a word # Well erm , she never said nothing , ta ta , and er Doreen never said nothing and Dee Dee never said nothing , I mean all I said to Dee was you might get it tomorrow if Lesley lets her , well Lesley wouldn't unless she forgot it of course , there's always that isn't there ? # Ain't it gone dull ? # Yeah # well I've got to go to town only I dunno whether she's gone , can't be gone yet , twenty past # Yeah I know what it is , erm Susan's given all the info except the er # No , oh I didn't know that # Yeah # terminal weren't it ? # Is it ? # Oh yeah , no # Oh # Mm , yeah # I haven't been to Heathrow as much as I'd been to Gatwick # No I haven't # no Bev's flown but when I've gone up with her # I don't think I ever have done Heathrow , oh wait a minute , did I the first year ? # No I don't know # Yeah , yeah # No I have flown from there it was # But I've been up there cos Bev's done a couple from # Heathrow oh yeah # erm # Sue was on about her daughter living with that bloke like , I don't know if it was the same bloke , I just dunno , yes it is , yes it is , it's gotta be the one , when she broke her shoulder , it's gotta be , anyway he got no job and Sarah got this good job apparently wherever it is , I can't remember where it was # well she got what she wanted then , whatever it is anyway , she's keeping him virtually and they got this flat , whatever they've got , and erm # yeah , they'll be , and she's always moaning driving Sue up the wall , why should I keep him blah , blah , blah , blah , doing nothing , we sit and look at each other and Sue said for Christ sake she said you're twenty years old , not forty , she'd been bad on and off again , throat , well she had the shoulder , throat er she thought she had , oh the diabetes was one weren't it , diabetes one , they thought she had , thought that she had glandular fever but she hasn't and er , so Sue said to her well are you looking after yourself and she said yes I am , Sue said well I dunno she never seems to be , cos she's never been well has she really ? # I mean you have to wonder # mm , anyway not only that one Emma erm been # she don't want to go to college or something new and erm she's doing something , must be finals I would think , think it must be finals and er Sue said to her well should she pack up # Mm # erm should she pack up her Saturday job , it pays around twenty pound and it will go up to about twenty five , and Sue and Will sat and talked about it and she got , she's surprising been interviewed for the W R A F but I mean that's not gonna be so easy these days , I mean they're gonna take the exceptionals that they need aren't they ? # And Sue said she's got nothing in view apart from that and she said to her you must have alternatives , she's not applied to anybody or enquired about anything # Are they ? # Well erm ,gor # well Hampshire was supposed to have some more weren't they ? # Well # well , erm tisn't , she's not , she wants the W R A F and nothing else and Sue said you can't be like that , you know , and er , so they've decided that she's gotta carry on with this Saturday job because she won't be able to go on the dole look , straight away will she ? # And Income Support I think is , what did she say for her age twenty I think # twenty pound or something # Mm # Mm that's something innit ? # That's right # something , something like , like that , anyway so she said er # she said it's hard enough for people with jobs to exist today without all this and she's gone back to college on the flexi idea , erm , brush up her typing because she said , now whether she's thinking of future years , she said when she left here that time , although she got that job she said it wasn't easy , she said because I had no bits of paper as such , although when I did the test I passed it , she said it wasn't simple , so she's doing # Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday , Thursday and not sure about Friday evening and er she said then she'll have trouble getting the money over that's out of them , why the redundancy because been there over two year , so I presume redundancy or holidays or both so Sue said to her well if they were so good to you in the past , but that ain't the point is it ? # They did all , they did # on their own back , she didn't ask for it and June ain't worked since Christmas , so er , I says I know what it's like with my sister and I mean she's been right in it ain't she ?
