Episode 149

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Harrison:  ‘Allo, ‘allo, ‘allo, what’s goin on ‘ere, then ?

Eddie:  Mornin, ‘arrison, is that an official enquiry or is yer use of comedy a new way of engagin wi the proletariat ?

Harrison:  Would you prefer a Taser ?  Anyway, where are you getting your political sensitivities from these days?

Eddie:  Oi think you underestimate us Grundys.  Livin wi Clarrie ‘as exposed me to all kinds o’ thinkin over the years.

Harrison:  Oh yeah, and what does Clarrie think of you selling contraband cider and cakes full of illegal drugs ?

Eddie:  Oi don’t know where you get your information from, ‘arrison, but our Clarrie says it’s a worker’s right to feed ‘is  family.

Harrison:  But what about your dodgy dealings with your special customers ?

Eddie:  Oi’ve no idea what you’re talkin about. All my operations are perfectly legal and as Clarrie says, the only way to undermine the capitalist system is to destroy it from within.

Harrison:  You’re confusing me now.  Life is hard for us coppers these days.  Everyone hates us - the workers and the bosses.

Eddie:  But Clarrie says if you lot joined the workers we could have the revolution we deserve. And we could make it worth your while.

Harrison: Are you trying to bribe me ?

Eddie:  Never crossed me mind, but would you like to taste the cider ?  It goes very well with a slice of that cake we just ‘appen to ‘ave in the pantry.

Harrison:  Oh, go on then.  But mind, although a policeman’s lot is not a happy one, I’m still not joining the revolution.

🎼  Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

(Ed.  I’m trying to imagine Dixon of Dock Green on cider and lemon drizzle cake.)
