Episode 123

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Eddie:  Clarrie, luv, ‘ave you ‘eard wot’s goin on up at Lower Loxsley ?

Clarrie:  And why would Oi be interested in wot goes on at that monument to capitalism and the exploitation of the workin class ?

Eddie:  Bit ‘arsh, luv.  Elizabeth’s bin good to me over the years, givin me work and that.

Clarrie:  And at wot price ?  We’re still livin ‘ere ‘and to mouth and she’s swannin around in a stately ‘ome.

Eddie:  Well from wot Oi ‘eard she might be swannin around in a prison soon.

Clarrie:  Serves ‘er right.  Wot’s she up for, crimes against ‘umanity ?

Eddie:  Only gone and pushed that Russ bloke off the roof !

Clarrie:  But Oi ‘eard she were plannin to run off with ‘im to Italy or some such place.  Not sure why they string up capitalists by their ankles on lampposts over there.

Eddie:  Oi think that might be fascists, not capitalists.  Anyroad, she’s changed ‘er mind by the sound of things.  Place is crawling wi’ coppers.

Clarrie:  Oi ‘ope they find evidence of crimes against the workin class perpetrated by generations of Pargetters.

Eddie:  Doubt it, luv.  They are mostly talkin to Fat Paul about the delivery of some soft play equipment.

Clarrie:  It’s a cryin shame they are gonna get away with it again.  Ooh, look at the time, Oi’ve got to dash.

Eddie:  But you’ve only just got in, where’s me tea ?

Clarrie:  You’ll ‘ave to get it yourself, Oi’ve got a meetin with the Socialist Workers’ committee.

Eddie:  Wot are you up to now ?  More buntin ?

Clarrie:  No, we’re plannin to hack into the village website to make sure Oi get elected to the Parish Council.  If Putin can manipulate elections, so can Oi !
