[Captain Peacock is showing the ladies some photographs in the ladies department]
These were taken on my holiday last year.
Oh, doesn't it look hot?
Oh you're right, yes. Yes, that's the worst of the desert.
Doesn't Mrs. Peacock look well?
Yes, she does, yes. We went back to Bessamachu, where we scored our first big victory.
Oh, that was where you had your honeymoon.
No. No, that was where... That was where we pushed Rommel back. Yes, I was dug in at this very spot for about seven whole days. It's a motel now, you know. Oh it was absolute hell, you know. The heat, the sun, flies, the sandstorms, the monotonous food.
Oh what you poor boys must have suffered.
No, that was last year at the motel.
[Mr Rumbold arrives]
Hope I'm not interrupting anything, Captain Peacock.
No, he's just showing us his holiday pictures.
Well, perhaps we could look at those after the store closes. Now, I'd like a word with everybody if you could get them to gather round.
Yes, of course, sir.
