‘Awight?’
‘Yeah, not so bad. You?’.
‘Tidy mate. Cauwt anyfink yet then?’
‘Sod all. Twenny four years and nuffink. Not a sausage.’

They sat in silence for a bit.

‘Yer ‘at’s cracked. Did ya know?’.
‘Yeah. ‘bin that way years. Your’n is an’ all.’

‘Typical. Stuck ‘ere, almost takin’ root an’ no love’.
‘Bleedin’ ‘umans. Can’t stand ‘em.’

More silence. The fish below them swam on and on, round and round. A light breeze sprang up.

‘ood wanna be a gnome eh?’.
‘Ha ha, good one. Right proper comedian you is’.

‘Cauwt anyfink yet?’.
