Handbags At Dawn
"Don't put ME down sunshine" Wilbur shouted, "I'm just as good as anyone else around 'ere".
Pc Walker managed to compose himself once again and while straightening his tie remarked " I think you've got grand visions above your station Wilbur, now Calm down".
"Calm down!" shouted Wilbur, " you call me and think I should calm down".
"Yes or ill have to arrest you again and put you back in the cells for..."but before Pc Walker could finish, Wilbur had took off his jacket ready for a scrap, he still wasn't quite sober not even after a night in the cells.
"Listen 'ere you young wipper-snapper, you think you know it all , well come on then, put your money where your mouth is" Wilbur replied getting more wound up by the minute.
At this point the door opened with a squeak and in walked in Parky who thought he would investigate the raised voices he had heard while outside.
Wilbur glanced quickly to see who had come in but then return his attention back to Pc Walker.
"Aye you all call me and what i do but i provide a valuable service to this community" Wilbur continued " I followed my father into this vocation, he was a trotter before me and I'm proud of it".
"Proud of what?, collecting rubbish others don't want, your nothing more than a glorified bin man" Parky piped up.
"Oi im not a bin man, I served my country during the war" Wilbur added. "I'm a recycling collections executive".
"A ruddy what?" Parky asked "what's one of them when there at 'ome".
"I take what others don't want and let others who can use them make use of em" replied Wilbur, who by now was getting a little annoyed at his entire existence being brought into question.
"Like i said , a glorified bin man" Parky added.
"Bin men take rubbish, i take unwanted goods" Wilbur replied quickly.
"Ya mean your a hoarder?" Parky asked.
"Maybe but my services was needed during the war, so don't put me down, i did my bit" Wilbur snapped.
"What did you do during the war?" Pc Walker asked.
"I fought for my country i did" Wilbur replied.
"The only thing you fought was conscription!" shouted Parky.
"You don't need to fire a gun to fight a war ya know" Wilbur quickly fired back.
"What's that supposed to mean" Parky answered
"Well who did the war dept come to for scarp metal? ME. who did the people come to when they wanted clothes? ME" Wilbur argued "I did my bit for this country".
Pc Walker realized he had stepped over the line, after all Wilbur really hadn't done anything wrong other than stand up for himself, but his attitude had really gotten the better of him. "look anymore of this and its back in the cells for you" he told him.
"You wouldn't do this to anyone from the council would you? no but cos im working class you harass me don't ya" he shouted
"Right ive had enough of this.. take him back to the cells" Pc Walker told Parky.
"Oh my god, NO we don't want THAT smell in here longer than we need" Parky replied as he took Wilbur by the arm to escort him back down the corridor he had just come from.
