Overheard on the 9.59 from Lewisham to Waterloo (of which much more later)

Middle-aged bloke, presumably a plumber or builder, in a sort of monotone South London/Suburban Kent accent:

"Can you bring fifteen hundred pounds? I can start getting some of the materials. If its more than that I think I can cover it. Where I go, I get thirty days free credit so I don't have to pay up front. I don't like shopping around. You might get a boiler a bit cheaper here, and something else a bit cheaper there, but in the end...

Oh and I bought an aeroplane.

And I'm thinking of buying a football team.

Still there?"
