"And you could go into Mr Odell's (Reg) and I mean he used to fascinate me. He'd got false teeth and they were a bit loose and he used to talk, his lips used to go up and down and his teeth used to stand still. And I used to love to go in there, you know, and ask him something. You couldn't laugh in front of his face but his favourite expression was he hadn't got it, 'I can have it for you in the next day, sir.' I could always have it/get it for you the next day. And whatever you used to buy he used to have a great big pile of newspaper and it used to be wrapped up in the newspaper, tied round in string and if it wasn't too big, you know you were going to take this personally away he'd make a little loop in it so you could hang it on a finger and go off. And that was Odells. He was a nice old boy, really nice." |
