Sowerbutt's Future


“Just like the old days, guv. Sitting here in the office, sharing a glass and planning some trouble. Can’t stay too long, if you don’t mind, guv. I’ll be in the dog house with Annie otherwise. Pop is making Stargazey Pie with the sardines. I’ve got to take round a couple of bottles of pale ale.”
Sowerbutt smiled at the idea of his tough lieutenant, who dropped Reds and roaring boys without a second thought, at the beck and call of pretty Annie. “There’ll be no more good old days, Spaghetti, whoever wins. If Winnie comes out on top, the shortages will stay and I suppose we’ll have some business as long as we can get supplies. They’ll start fixing up the bombed houses and putting up new ones - we might go into the building game. If the Jerries win, we’ll all be speaking German though you’ve had a few lessons. We’ll have to drive on the right and get used to their rules and regulations. King Edward back at the Palace, they say he’s a Jerry-lover.”
