Good afternoon, Victor Lads, can I have your account number ?
Yes, good afternoon, it’s 112233.

……….. and how can I help you Mrs Thompson ?

I’d just like a price if I may, for Markmicard in the 3.30 at York ?

Oh Yes. That’s at 9/2 Mrs. Thompson.

9/2 ? OK, I’d like £225 ew please, taking the 9/2 if I may ?

OK, Mrs Thompson, so that’s £225ew on Markmycard in the 3.30 at York, taking the 9/2 ? Is that correct, from account number 112233 ?

Yes.

Would you mind just holding whilst I get this authorised ?

No, that’s fine.

Six minutes later, operator returns, ‘Hello Mrs Thompson, I’m sorry I’ve been told I can offer you £5 each way at the price and the rest at sp. Would you like to take that ?


Maybe that's when I should ask for the Tofu Sub ?
