And within a few months we’d got the thing going till they were blowing out, and we were making it hand over fist you see? And What sort of money were you making on that then? Oh were making twenty five bob a day then.

But once he’s resigned himself to that, he’s then gotta look at that operation next door and he must be losing money hand over fist for the amount of space it is. That’s right. He to take out all these walls out, right the way back.
