:44:03
- We'll have to wait for the paper.
- There should be some good pictures.
:44:06
These bombs are quite spectacular.
:44:08
- He's late already.
- Yes, well, that's logical.
:44:11
There's bound to be delays and shortages
during the period of national emergency.
:44:17
I'll miss the serial on Woman's Hour.
It was just getting interesting.
:44:25
Crumbs! I haven't tried the transistor.
:44:29
No. Seems to have packed up.
:44:32
Or probably needs new batteries.
:44:34
Yes, I must pop down to Willis's.
:44:36
They are a price these days.
:44:39
97p last time. Just fancy!
:44:42
We ought to get one of these new hi-fis
when your endowment policy comes up.
:44:47
Oh, yes. Or a stereo.
I've only got two years to go.
:44:52
- I hope Ron and Beryl got back all right.
- Oh, yes, they'll be all right.
:44:57
- Our Ron's a very careful driver.
- I didn't mean the driving so much, dear.
:45:01
More the bomb.
:45:02
I'll give them a ring.
:45:05
Hello? Hello? Hello?
:45:08
No, it's not even ringing.
:45:10
Oh, I expect the lines are down.
:45:12
They say there are red-hot winds
of 500 miles an hour.
:45:16
I expect that would render the lines inoperable.
:45:19
I'll drop him them a line -
tell them to give us a ring.
:45:23
- Do you think the post will be going?
- Oh, yes, bound to be.
:45:27
The powers that be
will endeavour to maintain communications.
:45:30
Remember the Blitzz?
The post went on just the same.
:45:33
It's government policy.
It keeps up the morale of the population.
:45:37
I hope Ron is insured.
:45:39
You did pay ours, didn't you, James?
:45:41
Oh, yes, dear. The bomb won't cost us a penny.
We'll be well covered.
:45:45
Mm. Lovely.
:45:48
We can have some nice new curtains
for the summer.
:45:58
Crumbs! I wonder if it's all over already.
