Boss, boss, give it up. You’ll not get a hot Murray’s Pie this day. It’s been bucketing down all day and all day yesterday.

Will you look at the state of South Street here. I do not know if we’re on the pavement or the road.

All I can feel under my feet is filthy ooze, sodden books and dead pigeons.
