And I knew that this was a curious set-up

had organised a family tree. That showed there were gaps

So I shot off with the van and went through the back roads that weren't so busy. . . . I had nothing to bloody hide.

“familyjoke”

I mean I think we better pack it up, (hazel), we're talking rubbish aren't we, I mean you're digging me place up, carry on doing it, I mean why bother. You'd have dug that up for nothing, but you put the patio back now.

And I said look, heather, get.

I'm going out from here in a few minutes and see what I can do,. I don't know yet, my mind is not clear at the moment, I think the last thing that I think,it's a joke, believe me.
