Sowerbutt's Visitor


“Here’s a sight for sore eyes, guv.” Spaghetti glanced out of the farmhouse window. Sowerbutt picked up the Webley pistol on the table and moved across to the window.“No, it’s alright, guv. Come and have a laugh, lads, don’t miss this one.” One-Line, Missionary, Panda and Nero moved over to the windows.  As laughter broke out, Sowerbutt whispered to Spaghetti: “Trouble, he wouldn’t be here otherwise.” The red-faced man, wearing a fading Gieves suit and cap, came to a halt on his ladies’ bike and glared at the line-up outside the farmhouse, beside themselves laughing and waving. The slight military man dropped the bike, pulled off his bike clips and stalked towards the farmhouse. He snapped: “A word, Sorbay, if you can spare a moment.”
