You know honey this will show you how
much other people interest me, while

and having booked a seat I trotted
in just before it started, well after the
Show had gone along a bit, a fellar
and his girl sat next to me, the
girl boy being nearest, She had, I saw
a white straw hat on his lap which
I took to be the girls, I went out
at interval and returned after the
lights had dimmed, and do you know
the boy & girl who sat next to me
were two girls! Yes - the one near me
had short hair and tie on, I would 
not have known except for the straw
hat. I'll now see if I can locate
the postal bloke,
