    “Yes Number Two.”
    “What’s happened to my order?”
    “What order is that sir?”

    “My order for Cod and three pennyworth of chips?”
    “I think you have the wrong number sir.”

    “Not the fish and chip shop?”
    “No sir.”
    “Hasn’t The Village got a fish and chip shop?”

    “Could what sir?”
    “Fry up some fish and chips in your laboratory for me?”
    “With sodium chloride and acetic acid?”
