"So, Guv, why are we taking the bus this morning?"

"Because the ruddy car is in gettin' serviced, isn't it."

"So why can't we use another car?  There are others in the fleet you know."

"Because one's broken down, two are gettin' serviced and there's none to spare, all right?  And at this rate we'll get to work by beer o'clock."

"Guv, look!  There's a blag in progress over there!"

"And they're bloody gettin' away.  Move over, driver!"

"Guv, what're you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing, Dorothy?  Now earn your keep and stop those passengers from screamin'."
