Читать книгу Overheard - Mark Love - Страница 8

On a commuter train travelling between West Croydon and Balham, a husband tries to read as he is talked at by his excited wife.

WIFE: Darling, you never listen to me about things like this but you have to listen this time! If property prices in Battersea are going through the roof then it’s obvious that Balham will be next. Where I used to live, Blandfield Road; beautiful terraces, close to the tube, good school on your doorstep, Wandsworth Common just up the road…I’m telling you, if we bought a couple now we could make a killing! We’ve got to do this, Roger, it’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities…And the real beauty of it is, nobody else knows about it!

HUSBAND: I think they do now, dear.
