all your pockets well of course I have

which pocket did you P it in I don't

know does it matter what pocket I've

lost it what you might have fallen

through to the lining I've looked in the

lining you weren't mugged were you not

so I'd

noticed perhaps had your pocket picked

no had it in my pocket it must have

dropped out what if we retraced your

steps we might find it what do you think

I've been doing for the last half hour

I've looked everywhere I I I just don't

know what to say Albert well there's

nothing to

say hey we could have a whip round

amongst the regulars a I remember the

last whip round you had in here Mrs

Rogers £475 you got and she lost her

husband well it was a thought can't you

borrow it from the bank no the post

office don't do personal loans no I I

don't mind so much for myself but for

Ethel you know I really wanted to buy

that ring why don't you get it on the

knocker knocker on check pay so much a

week no no and I don't believe in having

things you can't pay

I never have done I never will have you

been to the police what for well

somebody might have found it and added

it in if you found 50 Quid would you go

to the police no well don't talk to

blood death

then somebody struck lucky then all with

my

money 35 40

45

50 and you found it yeah just lie there

in the pavement in an envelope up near

the shops well I can't stand litter so I

picked it up to pour it in a bin I

couldn't believe it when I saw it was

full of money some people have all the

luck what shall I do with it spend it or

shouldn't hand it in a Summit who are

you going to hand it into there's

nothing to say who it belonged to it

feels dishonest just spending it give it

to me and I'll spend it I must say it

would come in useful I could do with a

new coat you buy it love you're never

going to find out who lost it it could

be anyone and whoever did lose it isn't

going to expect to get it back I expect
