You know, Jack, that was the first time in my all life where I could sit into the toilette with the door open and cook breakfast at the same time. Oh, Jack, we'll find a better place. Don't be sad. Yeah, you're right. We only got one bedroom. I mean, we've got no married life.  Yeah, we remembered those days.  She, his sister, used to give Bob, our son, some frozen chips. Frozen chips? Yes, frozen chips. You know what I think about them things? They are unhealthy. That's all. I many times said things like that to Jack's sister. We spent many days like this, talking about nonsense.

There was rats under the floorboard...then came people from the council and took all the floorboards up and put all poison down for the rats and they said that, definitely, rats had been there but they'd probably gone somewhere else. To annoy somebody else...that was one of the colonel's tales when he was not in the toilette. Oh, if I had believed... One night dropped by us Rachel. A Jack's old friend. We've got a new friend at work. You know her, Jack, you knew...
