Wandsworth, 30th January

A woman sits in the back-seat with her feet crossed on the chair opposite. She talks loudly on the phone. The couple in front exchange glances.

“Oh my GOD, it’s 11.11 make a wish! …. COS it’s the time of the angels?! If you notice that it’s 11.11 a few days in a row then it’s good luck. You not heard that before?!”

“…So if my boss is still sick she’s going to get me to open tomorrow. And that’d be good cos that’ll get me brownie points for when I phone in sick on Friday and Saturday.”
