Table 9 – New Car
Sorry I’m late Mark – Couldn’t get the car started
Had to come on the bus
No worries Steve, I’ve only just got here myself
Time I got a new car, I guess
You must have had that Metro for fifteen years at least
Eighteen actually
Look, I’m about to change mine
You can have it for the trade-in price
Remind me – what do you drive
It’s a Ford Focus – only done forty thousand
Does it run all right?
Nothing wrong with it at all
I’m tempted
Tell you what – you can give it a test drive home
Okay then – at least that’ll save me a bus fare!
Table 2– Customer Service
This place has gone right off lately
I agree – prices up and service down!
That waitress doesn’t give a damn
Yea - spilt half my tea in the bloody saucer
And the teacakes are stale
Left over from Saturday, I guess
Or Friday even!
Let’s give that new place a try
That one in Station Road?
That’s the one
Okay, we could meet there next Monday
Same time?
Sure, Eleven – thirty
Shall we leave her a tip?
Not bloody likely!
Table 7– Scammers
Hi Rod – How are things?
Not good, I’m afraid
What’s the problem?
I’ve only been scammed
Oh dear! – Lose much?
A couple of thousand
That’s bad, I’m sorry
Thought it was a legit call from the bank
You didn’t give your details did you?
I did – The guy seemed so believable
Will the bank give it back?
They’re investigating
Oh well – you won’t do that again
I won’t
Still, could have been worse
Yea – better than losing ten thousand
Bastards those scammers
Sure are
