[The lads stop off at a motorway services. Oz and Dennis bring coffee and ham & cheese rolls to a table where Neville is sat, writing yet another postcard]
Oh. Another postcard, is it, Neville(?)
[as he and Oz sit at the table] He promised Brenda he'd keep in touch.
"Keep in touch"?! He wrote the first one at Darlington, man! Yer gonna blow all yer money on postage, lad.
She didn't want us to come. [Licks the back of a stamp and affixes it to the postcard] She said she'd accepted it; "Whatever's best for us", she said... then last night she was a bit tearful.
Mine never said a word.
That's not like your missus.
Nah, well I must admit I never gave her a chance, like, y'know, I... sneaked out the back door and made a dawn departure, like. Pushed the car down the hill so it didn't make a noise. [Chuckles]
You did a runner on yer wife?
Ah, you don't know his Marjorie. She's a right ball-breaker. I've seen her breakin' balls of innocent bystanders!
Last time I came out I didn't bother tellin' her I was comin'. Just said, er, "I'm goin' down to the newsagents, pet, gettin' the Sporting Chronicle". Three months I was away, that time.
Three months?! What'd she say when you got back?
"What won the 4.30?" [Laughs]
I've never worked abroad before. I've been abroad, like. Me an' Brenda went to Minorca twice.
Twice? Why twice?
...Well, we liked it the first time.
Whereaboots is it, Minorca?
Um... I'm not really sure. We flew non-stop from Newcastle.
