If you remember Les Dawson and this character then you might understand this.

Oh Ada, have you seen the new girl at number 32?

Not sure what you mean.

Number 32 where those two blokes live, Marcus and Dan, you know who I mean.

Oh yes, nice people the skinny one could do with a few pies in his diet though.

Oh I know what you mean, no meat on him is there.

Well go on what have you seen?

Well (looks both ways to see if anyone is listening) you know how I said I thought they were (whispers) homo-sex-ual.

Gay you mean. You said you saw them being far too friendly in a hug the other day.

Well I think I was wrong.

How’s that?

Well I have seen a woman coming and going with the big one, Marcus I think he is called.

You mean a girlfriend?

Oh most definitely one of them, and not just holding hands, they were in The Crown last week and I had to look away, kissing in public.

No!

Yes, never let my Harold do anything like that.

I should think not, that is for indoors.

And you should see some of those skirts she wears, see her knickers virtually.

Best not let your Harold see that, be wanting to see yours next.

Not unless he is feeling brave.

So he’s not gay then.

Who said he was gay, seems happy enough to me.

And have you seen the thin one?

Sometimes, only see him going to work and coming back.

And the girl?

She must spend all day inside, only goes out of an evening and weekends, that house must be spotless what with two men in there making a mess.

Well I never, another sherry Ada?

Yes please, make it a large one this time.
