:07:02
You're looking very flat-chested.
:07:06
Have you lost weight?
:07:10
l don't know.
:07:20
That was lovely, Vera. Thank you very much.
:07:22
- Very tasty.
- You're welcome, I'm sure.
:07:24
Why don't you sit on the settee, Reg?
Make yourself at home.
:07:26
Yeah, Reg. Sit down.
We'll have a smoke.
:07:28
Make a fresh pot, Ethel.
:07:30
- Here we are.
- Nah, go on.
:07:35
- Sid?
- Oh, cheers, mate.
:07:43
How's work going, Stan?
:07:45
- Was it motors?
- Motor mechanic, yes.
:07:47
Well, they bring 'em in.
We mend 'em, push 'em back out again.
:07:50
lt's just the two of us, see?
Me and my brother.
:07:52
Oh, a family business like?
:07:54
Well, it's Frank's business.
l work for him-- with him.
:07:57
Have you always worked on the roads,
then, Reg?
:07:59
- No. I started in the war.
- Oh.
:08:01
Oh, what kind of war effort
did you have, Reg?
:08:03
- The pioneer corps.
- Oh, yes?
:08:05
We laid tarmac on the American bases.
:08:07
- Did you?
- We did.
:08:08
- Went out in France-- 1940.
- You was out there early?
:08:11
Dunkirk. We done a running when they
broke through.
:08:13
Then we went out a few days after D-day.
:08:16
Same as you, Dad.
:08:17
'Bout a month after D-day,
we went out there.
:08:20
- Just after the battle of Caen.
- Oh, yes?
:08:22
lt was murder then. Mind you,
others had it worse than us.
:08:24
I was in the service corps--driver.
:08:26
We pushed from Normandy
into northern France, Belgium,
:08:30
And I ended up in Hamburg.
:08:32
l was in Hamburg and all, Reg.
:08:34
- Was you?
- Not then, though.
:08:35
- No, after the war. National service.
- Oh, I'm with you.
:08:38
I'll tell you, they've got it worse
over there-- the Germans.
:08:41
We all had it bad.
:08:43
- lt weren't cozy for no one, was it?
- Right along, Dad.
:08:48
No, but we done demolition before the war--
:08:50
- Me and my brother.
- Oh, does he live around here?
:08:53
Not now. He's in Australia.
:08:55
- Melbourne.
- Ooh, is he?
:08:56
He went out two year ago.
:08:59
That's a long way away, isn't it?
