I think we all have a
Mr Greedy in our neighbourhood. Down our street, Mr Greedy owns the corner
shop, yes they are still going, thankfully! Of course, that’s not the owners
real name, it’s Mr Patel. I call him Mr Greedy, cos everything in his shop is
bleedin’ expensive and often, than not, out of date!
There’s a supermarket
no more than a hundred yards away from his shop and a lot cheaper, but they don’t
offer the service Mr Greedy does.
Living in a high-rise
flat on a large estate and doing three cleaning jobs a day, might sound ok, but
no matter what I save on, I never get ends to meet. So this is where Mr Greedy
comes in because he allows me to have me goodies on the slate. I’m supposed to
pay up on Friday when I get me pay packet, but there are times when, I need to
pay the rent first. Those weeks, I send Trisha in to get the bits we need and
me ciggies. I hear you sniff at me wasting me dosh on fags, well a gal has to have
some pleasure. Believe you me, I won’t get through the day without a smoke!
If you want to find
out more about me, Trish and Mr Greedy, then give me story a once over, it’s
not gloomy at all, I like nothing better than a laugh, or a giggle. Even Mr
Greedy had to admit, I’m his best ‘slate’ customer, now that’s an accolade… I
think!
By the way, did I
tell you I saw the Queen? No, not in Mr Greedy’s, but I did see her.
