Sowerbutt's Offer

Nodding at the Home Guard's museum pieces, Sowerbutt smiled: “You’re waiting for some new equipment to arrive, Dai?”
“If only, Mr Sorbay,” the lance-corporal smiled. “The army boys are equipped with whatever’s available. We only get the left-overs. I haven’t fired the musket and I’d be scared to if the truth be known. Barrel would probably blow up. There are no musket balls, anyway, it’s just for show. As for poor Ivor walking around the place with that spear thing, they all laugh at him, don’t they? I don’t think we will hold the Jerry tanks for very long when they come.”
“I should be able to get your squad some newer shooters with plenty of ammunition shortly,” Sowerbutt said. “Not free mind, but a good price to you. You will be able to put up more of a showing and protect yourselves better." http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
