| Terry | Morning, Steve. |
| Steve | Morning, Terry. Is Mr. Peters in yet? |
| Terry | I haven't seen him this morning, but he should be upstairs in his office by now. Slip up and see. |
| Steve | By the way, that is your green Ford at a parking 5 meter outside, isn't it? |
| Terry | Yes, why?
|
| Steve | There's a traffic warden putting a parking ticket on it. |
| Terry | What? There can't be. The time hasn't run out yet. I only parked it there about 45 minutes ago. |
| Steve | Well, those meters are only for half an hour's parking, ing, you know. |
| Terry | Blast! If I run down quickly and move it now, I wonder if I can talk him into removing the ticket. |
| Steve | There's no chance of that, Terry. These wardens never cancel a ticket once they have written it out. |
| Terry | Damn! It's just not my day today. I went to a party last night and woke up with a hangover this morning I tripped and twisted my ankle on the way downstairs, I mislaid my keys and spent twenty minutes finding them, and I left home without any breakfast because I was late. And now this. |
| Steve | Well, you shouldn't drink so much. But at least you don't have to worry about the car now. Since you'll have to pay the fine anyway, you might just as well leave it where it is for the rest of the morning. |
| Terry | suppose that is a small consolation, but I really ought to go back to bed. |
