“What have you done?” asked Arthur, staring at Ted’s arms which were dotted all over with sticking plasters, “well”, said Ted, “I thought I’d run some barbed wire along the fence of one of my fields to stop people climbing over and disturbing my cows while they’re chewing the cud, I wore protective gloves but didn’t think to cover my arms”; “I hope one of your cows doesn’t try to jump over it”, said Colin, “it would be an udder disaster!”
“You used to call yourself Barb, didn’t you Babs, why did you change it?” asked Fred; “it all started because I had difficulty pronouncing my full name, Barbararab…r..arb…, anyway, I called myself Barb instead, but people used to laugh at it due to my surname, I was Barb Dwyer!”
“There are less wires these days, radios have become wireless, telephones no longer have wires”, said Arthur, “I used to like my old phone with its curly cable and dial, much nicer than prodding screens and pressing buttons”; “you are so old fashioned Arthur!” said Suzie from the next table – “OY”, shouted Landlord Len, “there ain’t nothing wrong with proper phones”, holding his 1960’s relic aloft!
“Apparently the other day someone called 999″, said Colin, “and when the operator asked which service he wanted he asked her to call his friend to say he’d be late, anyway, she asked him why he couldn’t do it himself and he said ‘because I accidentally superglued my finger to the 9 button’!”
“If I was the government minister for education” said Arthur, “I’d introduce a new subject for schools called Conversation, the only way today’s kids communicate is via their mobile phone things, you see groups of kids everywhere staring at their screens and not talking to one another”.
Colin had been quiet for a few minutes, so they all knew what was coming, “a guy I know’s got a job answering the phone, at last he’s found his calling, he wanted to propose to his girlfriend so he gave her a ring, I tried calling him yesterday and he was engaged…” and on and on and on!
