Lil's Bar 2

Like as not. Black as my hat over Bill's mother's. Put wood in t'hole as we don't all want to see what is going on in there. Some of us have standards. I'm not one to spread rumours but that Pete seems a bit forward and Ana no better than she ought to be. Bet Pete has spiked her shandy.

so a quick nap is out of the question! Pint please Lillian...

As I said Pete, that line won't work - these days when someone says I look tired, they actually mean it!

Just thought you could do with a lie down ana

Hope you're not referring to me, phoenix! I've never mangled lino in my life...

Well, if you think that line's going to get you anywhere, you've got another think coming! Tired, indeed - I haven't been lounge-lizarding around all day in Lil's Bar, I'm pacing myself!

Really! ...is she coming in tonight?

Well, the very thought of it, as if once isn't enough, I'll go to the foot of our stairs, I knew her mother, she used to mangle our lino, handsome is as handsome does, all fur coat and no knickers..................

Ana your looking a little tired....

Too late!

In bed?! What are you suggesting, grrranny? Don't give gramps and Pete any ideas (any more ideas, I should say...)

Couldn't agree more grrr it is time they were in bed....

Quiet - good - no fag ends trampled in carpet then cos Ethel's back is still up and if you think I'm coming again then you've got it wrong and if that gramps is anything like his reputation then there will probably be unmentionables strewn around. And I've washed the pinny in extra strong Zoflora to try to get rid of smell from this morning. More than time you were all in bed - brazen hussies. No good will come of it - mark my words.

evening all, and a special "hello" to gramps, where have you been?

Actually, on a similar note, where on earth IS everyone tonight? It's a bit quiet!

Phoenix, that's my kind f late night (or any time} music! Thanks.
I'll try the next one too!

Oh Ella - How could you be so heartless, after all I've done to- er -for you!!
Like the evening when you fell in the lake in St. james' Park when I tried to make you more comfy by loosening that tight bra that was obviously making you snappy! I just knew that was why you accidently socked me in the kisser!
What you doin' tonight ? zzzzz OOoh, sorry gel. 24 hrs. on the job ain't nogood fer nowun!

Too late Ana ! Mr P has just poured me a glass of wine! At this hour! Whatever next! (no, Pete that wasn't a question)

I think a VERY LARGE one

Just a tiny medicinal brandy, then, phoenix? I think gramps has got some miniatures stashed away from his last foray into Morrisons...

jeni , I have already offered sauce, although I think Petes got enough sauce already!

I think you have seen my shock (referred to on the last page). I am a very nervous Phoenix!

You've got soop now! Is that enough sauce for you?

I love you lot

Plenty!

Would you like sauce as well?

Might as well have some chips with it now....
