     "Morning chaps.....Basher Bishop 'ere.....oooh me bleedin' 'ead....I'm feelin' a bit poorly on account of 'aving a few too many pints of Scroggins Mild last night on account of us, the Depot Deadeyes, winning to the Richmond District Tiddly Winks Championship 'eld at the Black Cat pub.          The Old Man weren't too impressed, I can tell you, when I was late this morning wiv 'is tea and crumpets. Though I fink 'e wasn't annoyed on account of me being late.No, 'e  was annoyed on account of 'aving lost some money coz I knows 'e backed our opponents and deadliest rivals, them lot from the Old Codger pub in Little Throckelton. 'ow do I knows that, simple, I found his bookies slip in the pocket of 'is battle dress trousers yesterday when I was ironing 'em. E's blew a whole 10 bob on a flutter; the Old Lady will be fuming wiv 'im now. She's got a gala luncheon or sumfink to attend and is lookin' to get a new 'at and there's was 'im tellin her they couldn't adfford to get 'er a new 'at everytime she goes to lunch. A right old domestic ding dong it was.
      Anyway, when we got to the Depot this morning 'e sezs " Bishop, you blaggard, take your vile face out of the office and over to the QMs and give him these memos. I don't want to see you back here till 1600 hours, understand!"
      Blimey, talk about a sore loser. Anyway, I'm orf to Dirty Den's, the Depot Don Jew-wan, wiv these 'ere meemos then it's the NAAFI canteen for yours truly for a cuppa....cor I'm gasping for a cuppa....pip pip!
