With
tempers rising and all eyes watching the indignant inspector, no-one noticed
Panda bending over her straw shopping bag. “Hang
on, she’s a crook,” Panda shouted. “On the take.” Waving
a copy of the Daily Mirror, he said:
“Been a robbery of ration cards at the Food Office in Romford. Inside job, I
know. The paper’s printed all the numbers.” Pointing
to the food inspector’s bag, he said: “Two of them are here, probably more in
her pocket. A bent officer of the law, trying to get supplies on the side while
us lot go without. The magistrate won’t like that at all. Prison, I’d say.”
An angry murmer spread through the queue.
