That was excellent. A great idea, and I really enjoyed the story. Love the cockney language you’ve used. 🙂 I was enjoying that as much as the story, and it made me laugh my way through it. Wonderful expressions used to great effect. Good reading from you, too — I’d be nervous the moment someone pointed the camera.
