The theme music fades. It is well after midnight in East Dulwich. The bar is empty of customers. The occupying forces have returned to their billets after an evening?s carousing. The bar staff are clearing up.

Ren? (from behind the bar): Yvette, ?ose down those ?ighchairs, zen you can give me a ?and wiz zese very sticky glasses. Come on, come on, we ?ave not got all night!

Through the bar door glides Michelle. She is carrying a plastic bag, which she places on the bar.

Ren?: Oh what now?

Michelle: Listen very carefully, I shall say zis only once ?

Ren?: ? Well?

Michelle: In zis bag is ze MacDonald?s wiz ze Big Burgers. Where are ze Peckham Airmen?

Ren?: I do not know and I do not care. (Sighs) Last time I looked zey were under mozzer in law?s bed. But you cannot leave zat ?ere. If I get caught wiz ?

The Peckham airmen bluster through the door behind the bar.

Ren?: ? Oh no!

First Airman: I say, a piano!

He sits and starts playing ?Pack Up Your Troubles? and the Second Airman sings along

Ren?: Shhh! Zis is madness! Take your MacDonald?s wiz ze Big Burgers and go!

The bar door swings open and a caped figure stands in the semi darkness. The piano playing stops, the singer chokes and everyone looks at the figure.

Crabtree: Good moaning.

Crabtree steps up to the bar and looks around.

Ren?: Go away!

Crabtree: You are having the farty?

Yvette: What did he say?

Ren?: I cannot understand a word. GO ? AWAY!

Suddenly Otto Flick strides through the open bar door.

Otto Flick: Also! Vaht have ve here? Ein plastic bag, eh? You know vaht se penalty is for sis?

Michelle quickly ushers the Peckham Airmen out of the bar. Crabtree beats them to it. Yvette now decides to take a highchair outside.

Ren?: ?Err Flick! ?Ow nice to s-see you. ?Ave a d-drink.

Otto Flick: Do not try to bribe me! Vaht is sat odd - but strangely appealing - smell?

Ren?: Oh dear ? (an idea strikes him). Ah, ?err Flick, it is an old French delicacy wiz ze fine ?and cut potatoes, er ? ze ?and reared organic steak hach?, er ? ze free range cornichons, er ? and ? zings.

Otto Flick: Sings?

Ren? (nodding confidentially): Zings.

Otto Flick: Mmmm. Sen I am confiscating sis bag and its contents for furser examination. (He opens the bag and smells the food). Ah! I bring se General to eat tomorrow. Have more of sis traditional food for us.

Ren?: Yes ?err Flick, I will arrange it. Of course (shrugging) ? it will be a little more expensive zan our usual simple fare ?

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
