"It’s the Millwall, Mr Sowerbutt sir. A South African tramp, which ran the Jerry U-boats all the way up from Walvis Bay, has just tied up. Tins of fish, thousands of them, crateful after crateful. Pilchards, the labels say. Real tasty, they are. Remember them in the shops before the war? My mate has been put on to do the unloading.
"I promised to get you some good deals, didn’t I, Mr Sowerbutt? Fish will go quick-smart and for a good price."
Sowerbutt said: "Find out from the ship’s mate what is in it for us. You negotiate something, the best deal, eh? And tell your docker friend we’ll pay cash for whatever he and his gang can disappear on the side." http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
