Nice little earner this. £150 squid a day.
Dont do day of course. Dont be daft.
Here for 7 hours. Try and not work for about 3.
The Old Biddy dont know. Ain’t got a clue.
Trick is to make meself seem busy.
Bring load of boxes, bags, and bits in. Spread everyfin all over.
Create chaos see. More mess there is the more it look like busy goin on.
Then bang about a bit like this.
Plonk. Bang. Plonk. Boof. Plonk. Bodge. Bodge. Wallop. Plonk.
That sound like summat beein dun see.
And now I turn this radio up high onto Five Live.
That blots me backside out wiv blare. So I can have meself a nice sit down on loo an play wiv fone. Got to get todays bets on see. Me daily flutter on the gee gees.
The Old Biddy cant hear nuffin. The nuffin not goin on that is. An she wont cum down here wen radio on loud. Makes her deaf in boff ears.
Anyrode, wen she up there, I can do or not do wotevva I likes in here.
I do do a bit. Twenty minutes max. Then 10 minutes break for sit on loo again an check me gee gees.
Fursty work this skivin. So lets get kettle on an ave tea. Fill it up full the kettle to wind her up. She told me don’t. But I dont bother. It go in one ear an out the other. Got betta fings to fink about than boilin up sum old biddies kettle.
Plonk Plonk. Tap Tap. Plonk. Tap.
Alright. Thats enuff of that.
I says to her, I shouts, “Hey! OAP!” (Or wot evva her name is) “Got to nip down timber merchants an buy more wood, claddin, nails, blah di blah blah’”
And off I pops. Via Ladbrookes. Via Greasy Grahams cafe. Via my mate Dave’s.
Get back an hour later an gives Old Biddy sum cock an bull about how I has to go all over to get this plank of wood. Which I never got. Well, didn’t need it did I. That was just me pullin a fast one. So as to get out for a bit from this stuffy soddin bathroom. God I hates it. I only bin cummin here 2 month now. It getting rite on my tits.
Time to put that kettle on. Fill up full to wind her up again. He He He. Just my little joke. No harm in it.
Ok. Lets do a bit.
Plonk. Hammer. Bang. Scrape. Plonk. Rip. Plonk. Plonk. Hammer.
Bugger! Just droppt plank on me foot. That non existinct plank.
“Hey OAP! I just hurt me foot! Have to nip off to get plasters. Wont be long luv”
An off I pops. Drives round corner and gets on moby to check me bets. Shit! The 2.30 at Catterick cum in second. Lost by a nose. Thats 50 ponies down the drain. Never mind. I’ll charge Old Biddy 50 quid for this plank I never bought this mornin.
She wont know. She wont question. Trusts me see the old deer.
It cushty little earner this. At least 4 Grand an countin. Milkin it fore all its worf. The slower I goes the more lovely lolly I gets see. If I spin it out another month that’s another couple of Grand to spend on me horses.
Money for old rope it is. Cash in hand. Taxman dont know. An more important, The Missus dont know. Lethal to let on how much cash is cummin in – no way!. The Missus only goes and blows the friggin lot on more of her soddin knick knacks. I dont know, wimmin eh? If them not moanin them bleedin spendin all your hard earned lolly.
Back again. Better get spurt on. Make it look like I done sumthin.

Wot time is it? 4 already. Thats it. Down tools. Got to make a fuss of clearin up for half hour. Make it look like I care see.
The Old Biddy toddles down an hands over the One Hundred an Fifty into me greedy little mitts.
“Er, lissen Mrs Wotsit” I says all sorry soundin, “Cant cum in tomorra. Got urgent job on. Be back Fursday. Tati bye”
But I ain’t. Got job on. Thats me tellin porkies again. Havin day off tomorra for race meet at Newton Abbot. Takin this big bundle of notes she give me to blow in wotevva way I wants. Might even be enuff over to tank a few bevvies.
Am I sorry to pull the furry wool over Old Biddies blind eyes?. Well, spose I have messed her bout a bit. But cant be helped. You have to see. It the only way in this game. We all do it. All at it.
Wot a racket eh?!
