John Shalesmoor came into t'other bar on his neet off, sat down with Van and me, and got straight to it:
"Hey Van, you got any crust, pal? I was on it yesterday, and now I is struggling to remember what I got up to, so a little livener wouldn't go a miss."
"For you fella, course I 'ave, here," said Van, turning a baggy out of the pocket of his trenchcoat.
"Obliged, fella. Is tha gonna join us?"
"It would be rude not to, wun't it," said Van.
