🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Eddie:  Wot’s all this, Clarrie, luv ?  Ain’t me tea ready ?

Clarrie:  No, it ain’t, Eddie, Oi’m busy makin this buntin.

Eddie:  Buntin ?  Oo’s birthday is it this time ?  The Queen, Churchill, Peggy Woolley ?

Clarrie:  Oi’m makin some buntin for the village ‘all

Eddie:  Wot on Earth for ?  There must be some left over from VE Day or some royal weddin.

Clarrie:  It’s a historic occasion and Oi think we need summat special to mark it.

Eddie:  Go on then, wot is it ?  Put me out of me misery.

Clarrie:  The only thing that puts you out of your misery is eight pints of Shires and a bag o chips wi Fat Paul.

Eddy:  That’s a bit ‘arsh.  You know Oi luv yer sausage surprise and yer Sunday mornin fry-up is second t’ none.

Clarrie:  If you must know, it’s the village ‘all centenary this year and Oi want to make sure it’s celebrated proper.

Eddie:  Let’s see it then, luv.

Clarrie:  Wot d’ye think?

Eddie:  Oi’m not sure about the colour, luv, bright red ?  And all them ‘ammers an sickles - wot’s that got to do with the village ‘all ?

Clarrie:  It’s not just the centenary of the ‘all, it’s a hundred years since the Bolshevicks liberated the Russian people from centuries of  Tsarist oppression.  It’s about time this village realised the sacrifice of the workin classes in the fight for universal justice.

Eddie:  Blimey, ye’ve  got a fight on yer ‘ands there, luv.  But wot will people say ?

Clarrie:  Say ?  Forget the talkin, it’s time for action !

Eddie:  So wot’s yer plan ?

Clarrie:  Oi’m gonna stand for the parish council next time round and meantime Oi’m gonna use wot they call ‘soft power’ t’ change things round ‘ere.

Eddie:  And ‘ow’s that gonna work ?

Clarrie:  Oi’m not sure, yet, but there won’t be no cake or male strippers.

Eddie:  Then ye’re definitely gonna ‘ave a fight on yer ‘ands.

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
