A rather brash young woman is walking through a very select area of west London with her hounded-looking grandmother.

WOMAN: ’ow can yer cheat on yer Nan? It’s not possible, yer mi Nan!

GRANDMOTHER: Shhh.

WOMAN: But how can yer do it? You can’t. It’s not possible to cheat on yer Nan!

GRANDMOTHER: Shhh.

WOMAN: I’m not using you. Yer me Nan! But yer shutting me out. It’s like, cos I’ve decided I’m doing this, yer shutting me out and I’ve got to do it all on me own. Yer shutting me out!

GRANDMOTHER: Don’t you think I’m entitled to shut you out after all what you’ve done?

WOMAN: But yer me Nan! I’d let you stay at my place any time you wanted. I’d let you eat me food, ’ave a bath, anything! Cos you’re my Nan!

GRANDMOTHER: Shhhh.

WOMAN: And I moved out of your house to give you more room. That’s what I did for you! And now yer shutting me out. I’m not cheating you. You can’t cheat yer Nan!
