Sowerbutt's Hats

“Approve? Approve? We can sell dozens of these beautiful hats. I want them tomorrow and I want to buy June if I can’t have your bakery girl,” George said. “The madams in the West End millinery shops will be green with envy, nails ready to scratch.”

Sowerbutt's Riot

"The bully-boy bailiffs came in with warrants and began seizing goods. Do you know they marched into the markets at Bury, waved a piece of paper in the air and started loading their lorries with pigs and cattle. Nearly started a riot, I almost hit one of the bastards myself but the constables were there."

Sowerbutt's Tithes

Rupert Manningtree said: “Tithe Wars? A damn disgrace. The tithe-owners, mostly civilians who’d bought them out but a few Anglicans, trying to squeeze blood out of a stone. Middle of a depression, corn prices were down 30% and the cost of labour and supplies sky-high. People couldn’t pay, good people."

Sowerbutt's Winnings

“King Zog from Albania to whom we have granted asylum. Paying for his stay at the Ritz with his poker winnings, we gather, the rogue."

Sowerbutt's Waiter

As manager of Clacton’s premier hotel, Barry Nigg did not normally wait on tables in the lounge or anywhere else. However, the Brigadier had impressed upon him the importance of looking after Mrs Smith as the woman had registered her name. “Matter of national security, old boy. Something the Prime Minister himself is taking a personal interest in."

Sowerbutt's Palace

“Well, I do declare, Miss Polly, this is perfect, a picture-perfect palace. I love your spotted curtains, the pastel walls and the floorboards are polished to a treat,” George, the chief clothes buyer at Marshall & Snelgrove, beamed as he looked around the warehouse.

Sowerbutt's Chain

One-Line’s Webley revolver was in his shoulder holster; Panda’s shotgun rested against the wall, his bike chain coiled in a canvas bag alongside.
