[Marie:] Anyway, erm... we went to the Ca Polly hadn't seen them in the shops anywhere and went to Caerphilly market on Saturday morning...... and as we were coming from it he said look there's a shirt you want for Robert there.... So I thought well in case I can't get them anywhere else the market and he said well we'll have one from here, twelve ninety nine.... We goes up town the following week then to get... and I forget what I was looking for, oh it was I was looking for your blouse

[Marie:] Yes they
[Cerys:] I can't get up now mummy. [whingeing] I can't []...
[Marie:] Oh you know padded shirts for... padded shirts nine ninety nine to twelve ninety nine.
[Hazel:] Cos Ken said, first of all he couldn't find any and he said oh he said perhaps I should've bought them when I saw them, nine ninety nine. But anyway he saw this one stall and he had a look and they had three racks of them... for ten ninety nine... and then we found some others then, they were... they were ten ninety nine but they were as thick as these other ones.
[Marie:] They were twelve ninety nine. But erm the shop... opposite er you know there's the market and there's a cake shop, opposite there by the shop, they've got a sale there. Stock clearance. By, by the, you know wallpaper Yeah
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] and then there's a shop next to it and he's selling er stock clearance sales there and that's where he saw them, the padded shirts, there.
[Hazel:] Mm
[Marie:] But I didn't look, I didn't stop, it was raining so bad Thursday morning and windy that I... I went to the market, I cut straight through and went up and Di went to get the paper then he went. So we, we were back in here by half past eleven Thursday... I didn't want to stay out in the cold.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] Yeah
[Cerys:] Yippee!
[Marie:] I wanna get him another towelling dressing gown because the blue one he had on the caravan he brought home for the winter bring them home and wash them. But he would he said don't wash it I wanna wear it. So really he could do with one for down there and one for home.... But the
[Hazel:] Yeah.
[Marie:] only other one he's got is a silk one... so er I was gonna go on Tuesday and have a look and they had them there before Christmas, seven ninety nine... and, but it said one size... now I don't know whether the one size will fit Di because the last one I had for him I sent away for and I had erm...... so I don't know whether them down there would fit, they were seven ninety nine, there were white and lemon and pale green... that was striped I think.... They had some nice thick ones in Peacocks but they were seventeen pound... well sixteen ninety five and they didn't reduce them for the sale.
[Hazel:] Mm....
[Marie:] He wouldn't let me pay that for it, he said that they had at the shop. And when we went then after Christmas the shop was... closed down for the
[Cerys:] There we are!
[Marie:] the Christmas holidays....
[Cerys:] I'll have that one.
[Marie:] You know the mini market top of I, I usually get the bargains?
[Hazel:] Yeah.
[Marie:] Well when Ken said about the headboard last week they were selling sheets on mini market I said pink ones and grey ones... but I said not while they had the Christmas stuff in, it was before the Christmas stuff they must have taken them out... you know I
[Hazel:] Mm
[Marie:] I was thinking perhaps they'd bring them back. So Thursday we, we usually come out of Bridge Street, go round the corner and then down to the end of the, car's parked at the end of the lane. So I said wonder if they've got that headboard for Ken, you know I didn't know he had one... I said we'll have a look and see how much they are. When we got there, it's all locked up. Oh that's for stocktaking they said. And we looked through the side windows and there's not a thing on the ruddy counters, it's cleared out. There's nothing there at all so there's no stock they can sell, they've shut down I expect.
[Hazel:] Mm....
[Marie:] And the week before it was all Christmas stuff was still in there....
[Hazel:] Oh you know in, you know in Ponty? You know that great big double shop... that's a mini market? They always got chairs and wicker baskets and things
[Marie:] Mm
[Hazel:] outside.... That's gone.
[Marie:] They've got one in they've got one in like that as well haven't they? Irene had her jardiniere thing
[Hazel:] Yeah. Mm.
[Marie:] They shut up have they?
[Hazel:] Yeah and that was a big one that was... cos that went downstairs an'all.
[Marie:] Yeah.
[Hazel:] Just gone....
[Marie:] Mm.... Mind now as you say the... recession.... Didn't Rhys wanna go to the match today though?
[Hazel:] He did, yes.
[Marie:] Well he come round here he said... are you ready? Robert and er... Rob said aye we're going. And I said what's the matter Rhys?... And Di said what's the matter, you've got a face as long as a fiddle?... Everything, he said [LAUGHTER] he went []...
[Hazel:] Oh what happened was he was going to the match
[Marie:] Mm.
[Hazel:] and then his friends come knocking at the door, you coming out to play football Rhys? No I'm going to the football match with dad.... [mimicking] You're gonna watch Cardiff City []? And so of course they started pulling his leg then see? And he said... he said
[Cerys:] No, are you gonna watch Cardiff City lose again.
[Hazel:] That's right, twenty five nil.
[Marie:] [LAUGHTER]
[Hazel:] So Rhys says oh how did you guess... but erm he come in then, he said I'm not going to the football mum.
[Marie:] He, hmm
[Hazel:] So I said to him well alright then I said er... if you're not going to the football match you can go upstairs to your bedroom and tidy your bedroom again. Well when I say again... he hadn't touched it.... It's a mess innit Cerys?... He makes more mess in his bedroom than she does... and his is because, not only is it all papers and books and toys and everything else, it's all his clothes as well. He don't put any of his clothes away... and if he's looking for anything it's all... fling out of drawers and on the floor, he don't care. And if I've hung his coats up once I've hung up, I've hung them up a hundred times, he's got a coat hanger on the back of the... coat hook on the back of the door
[Marie:] Well I gave him two when he stayed here to stay er to hang er on his door and he
[Hazel:] and I'm not kidding you, he's got... his blue coat that he wears down the garden, you know the one with all the, he's got erm his army jacket, a grey jacket... erm... tt how many has he got? I think there's another jacket that he's got and there's no room to keep them all downstairs on the hook hanging in the passage
[Marie:] Mm.
[Hazel:] so I told him to keep them on the back of that door. You put them up on the door, they're on the floor. You pick them up again you put them back on the door, he chucks them back on the floor.
[Marie:] Oh Robert he used to
[Hazel:] Terrible!
[Marie:] he'd go upstairs and Shirley would have put all the clean clothes back in the wardrobe... and he'd go in the wardrobe oh, no I won't wear that, no I won't wear that... and half the time she found the cleanest clothes were all rolled up under the bed.
[Hazel:] Mm....
[Marie:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Hazel:] Yeah.
[Marie:] They ain't half done a lot of r er lorries and that going back and forward today... over there.
[Hazel:] Yeah here didn't they?
[Marie:] They were working up by er
[Hazel:] Well they seem to be anyway.
[Marie:] they'd gone past the, they were working outside the... you know where, as you go to B & Q? The a sort of curve toward, behind B & Q... so, and they, they sort of on the slope there. this morning, we didn't have a warning yesterday...
[Hazel:] I dunno erm... tt I was up er David's and Eileen's when it went and their windows rattled.
[Marie:] Yesterday?
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] Tuesday we had hell of a bang.
[Hazel:] And er... erm Eileen said then she said we never had a warning then did we? So I dunno whether it's because we've got used to it
[Marie:] Ah.
[Hazel:] do you know what I mean? Cos I mean it's only like a siren, it's only going ooh ooh ooh innit? And you notice it.
[Marie:] Well anyway I for half past three yesterday
[Hazel:] Anyway you definitely hear the bang. [LAUGHTER]
[Marie:] Yeah, I said it's due to go off now, I said, half past three... and we waited and waited and he said... well it's ten to four by me he said and I haven't heard one.
[Hazel:] Yeah it went off yesterday. It went off about erm... half past three. twenty five past three
[Marie:] He probably had the telly on so perhaps I just didn't but the last time they had er a siren on it wasn't all that load I thought. Whether it's cos the wind was blowing that way I dunno. Did you eat those Ferrero Rocher I sent up to you?
[Hazel:] Ooh she liked them didn't you?
[Marie:] Oh Iris didn't. She had a box full for Christmas, she ate three odd one, right?
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] She sent, they were in those little strips, she sent three in for me, she said and have you tasted these I said I don't think so, so she sent them, I'd tasted the other ones but not those white ones... so she sent three of them in for us. And he... he caught her the other day, she was putting them out for the birds, she don't like them but she said [LAUGHTER] [].... So he come in here he said Iris is putting those Ferrero Rocher things out onto the, onto the birds' table he said, she don't like them. He said she said they're like. I said well what the hell's she doing Arthur, if she don't want them tell her to come, send them in here I said and give them to the kids. But that's all she sent in were those two. I said she might've sent a full packet give one to Barry, one to Rhys and one to Cerys but there was only two
[Hazel:] Mm. Oh they're nice they are.
[Marie:] I thought they were... they weren't too bad, I didn't like them
[Cerys:] I ate mine in the car. I couldn't get mine out of the packet
[Hazel:] Expensive they are that sort of thing.
[Cerys:] [shouting] Ah ah ah ah []

[Cerys:] Yeah.
[Marie:] Did you dance?... Sing?
[Cerys:] It wasn't like a party at all.
[Marie:] Wasn't like a party?
[Cerys:] At all.
[Marie:] I know the one er the Girls' Brigade wasn't it you said, but you had another one last Saturday didn't you?
[Cerys:] Yeah...
[Marie:] Well what do you mean nothing like a party then?... Didn't you have crisps?
[Cerys:] Mm.

[Cerys:] Ooh tomorrow. Tomorrow?
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Cerys:] Tomorrow? Oh you mean...
[Marie:] Yesterday. Cos I was talking to Debbie Thursday....
[Cerys:] Ah so she might be... so she might be coming out tomorrow...
[Hazel:] Cleared out all the chest of drawers and wardrobe the other day didn't we?
[Marie:] Yeah
[Hazel:] She's got nothing to wear now. [LAUGHTER]
[Marie:] [LAUGHTER] I heard she was trying on everything to see what
[Hazel:] That's right.
[Marie:] fitted and what didn't.
[Hazel:] Yeah.
[Cerys:] ...
[Marie:] The haven't been open have they since before Christmas?
[Hazel:] them open.
[Marie:] I know, I... they haven't been open all this week.
[Hazel:] I've been, I was thinking today actually... when I was walking up the road and I thought oh the is shut again. They're gonna close down aren't they?
[Marie:] I think so.
[Hazel:] I think, I think that last erm break in has done it to death hasn't it?
[Marie:] Er they've still got a Father Christmas outfit in there er er in one window... the one next to the shop.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] But I've been up the road every day this week, not shopping but just out for a walk, you know? If I can get out,
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] but most days... but erm and the bar's right across the door and last week when I went out they still had er er one or two bits of Christmas stuff in the one window... and some balls of er... in there.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] But that window's completely cleared out now... and it hasn't been open at all this week.
[Hazel:] No.
[Cerys:] ...
[Marie:] Betty says a window in Caerphilly had been knocked in,
[Hazel:] Oh yeah?
[Marie:] There's a board up to that.... And where is the other one I saw? The wine store up the top end there, they
[Hazel:] Aye that's right. They've got erm
[Marie:] They've got a big piece of wood
[Hazel:] they've got a board, yeah.
[Marie:] Yeah a board up their window
[Hazel:] Yeah that's right....
[Cerys:] I did twelve.
[Hazel:] Mm....
[Marie:] But you know it surprises me... I mean I know the church is, is closed and it's been closed for a couple of years now... and it looks a sight because... now I don't know how many members they've got, at least a couple of them could go in there and cut all the brambles down.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] I mean if you belong to a church you do something to make it look tidy don't you? I mean that church isn't in such a bad state bloody fall on you all the time.... You go past there and you look in that front and people have been dumping bags of rubbish over there.
[Hazel:] Yeah, they will.
[Marie:] Little tiny white bags full with cans and odd... just dump, I mean there's no respect at all lately is there? You wouldn't think of doing it years ago
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] even if the church was... And they've cut all the side, the other side, Church Street... they've cut all the hedge of the church down there and dumped all the grass inside, no not the grass, the branches, inside... well you'd think they'd get a blooming lorry or a van to take it all down the blooming tip wouldn't you?
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] To ta just to make it look a bit respectable because... it's a church, they're using that part of it.
[Hazel:] Yeah.
[Marie:] absolutely terrible. I said to
[Cerys:] Nan
[Marie:] about it the other day... aye he says but they weren't supposed to cut anything down he said, they were only supposed to cut a bit off the top. Well I said that doesn't excuse the thing of, of tipping all over and putting it inside and not shifting it. It looks terrible.
[Cerys:] Nan which church
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Cerys:] was the bit that's sticking out on the path.
[Hazel:] Yes.
[Marie:] No somebody could go in there who belonged to the church anyway, two or three of them and it wouldn't take long cutting all those brambles and things away....
[Cerys:] Tt nan do you mean the Cubs' church?
[Marie:] Yes.
[Cerys:] Cos then they usually make fires.
[Marie:] Well I, I don't know what's stopping some of the, they'll go up one day er there one day and they'll
[Cerys:] [shouting] Why can't they leave []
[Marie:] throw something over it would be up.
[Cerys:] Nan why can't they leave just a little patch of grass for the fire?
[Marie:] . I said to Di if you want pea sticks that's the place to go because they've got... and he said oh I go now. But er you'd think they'd get a lorry or something to shift it from there.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] It's a fire hazard really isn't it?... You know with kids today.... And I tell you another thing I noticed, I cut through the car park in the lane behind Shirley's... one day this week, I went through and... and the back door of the old police station's open. And all the windows in the back are broken.
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] So I expect somebody's been and er the er the door thing, you can get in the back way and in through the back door. I bet there's some people sleeping in there in the night....
[Cerys:] Someone could easily make a fire in there.
[Marie:] I mean if they're not gonna use the building and they can't sell it, gut it.... Cos they said they were gonna sell it then they changed their mind, they were gonna pull it down
[Cerys:] If they can't sell it, pull it down and put something else in.
[Marie:] It's no good is it now?
[Cerys:] Put something else in like a flat.
[Marie:] Shouldn't think it's very nice inside.... There's room for flats I think.
[Cerys:] Mm.
[Marie:] Even on the ground floor....
[Hazel:] [yawning] There was []
[Cerys:] Nan. Ah ah! Is that all you've got on the line, one tea towel?
[Marie:] Well that's not a tea towel there, nanny cleaned her windows yesterday and er when I, I'd wiped er with a cleaning off I washed it up again and I put it out yesterday and I keep forgetting to bring it in....
[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Hazel:] Tt well if somebody's desperate that they want to pinch that they're quite welcome to it.
[Marie:] That's right. [LAUGHTER] It's bits I took off the sheets is that, that I er
[Hazel:] Mm....
[Marie:] I was gonna tack the, the end down so
[Cerys:] Nanny why didn't you remember they was up
[Marie:] What?
[Cerys:] this morning, that
[Marie:] Well when I drew the curtains back this morning I thought oh damn
[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER] You were lucky that no one pinched them.
[Marie:] [LAUGHTER] Oh well they can have it, []
[Hazel:] [LAUGHTER]
[Marie:] It isn't big enough for anything only
[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Marie:] go down the park... come down to the park?... There's a rugby match going on up there, there's people watching that and there's people down with kids.
[Cerys:] I need a ladder, I need a ladder.
[Hazel:] Mm.... No we saw... we saw the people in the park when we walked down didn't we?...
[Cerys:] That way.
[Marie:] You wasn't long then because I went
[Hazel:] Er we went erm as far as erm

[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER]... I wore my hat, scarf and gloves... today I'm lucky I wore it....
[Hazel:] Yes she wore them... over in Ponty didn't you? Cos she said I'm hot.
[Cerys:] [shouting] Ooh I walked and walked I []
[Marie:] Di, Di didn't have but the one... but he come up, he said said he wants a spirit level and he wants a tape measure... he'd got the spirit level he said I can't find the tape measure he said, said it was on top of the bag. I said where's your hat? And... cor he says, making me hot, it was in my pocket. Well I said don't go catching cold. I goes out there and he said I dunno where that tape measure is, there's two bags here. And the tape measure's that size and it was on top of the bag.... I said that's the tape measure
[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Marie:] [yawning] Ooh [] there was a car out here last night Hazel... and it was revving up... then you hear a door go, and they weren't closing it's bang! Then there was voices, and then it sounded as if the boot went down... and then there was the doors bang again and then it revved off and it wasn't long it came back.... Well I stuck it for a long time, Di went to sleep... and I got out and I had a look and I, the only thing that I could see, and it was two o'clock, half past two this morning, er the er the one side of the big house over there was full of lights, they had all the lights on and there were two cars outside with their lights on. So

[Cerys:] [LAUGHTER]
[Hazel:] It was November wasn't it? I dunno.
[Marie:] Anyway, I put it in the paper, phoned in the paper... and they said it'd be at least a week or fortnight before so I didn't like... but it never came out in the paper. So I phoned them again... and er they took it down... and then... I didn't see it in the paper again... so when I phoned again and said why haven't you put it in she said... well, of course, she said, if you pay two pounds she said two pound fifty
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] you get pr priority.... Anyway they had a, a special coupon in the Campaign this week and I said to Di... I said phone this number I said and put our washing machine in, I said they're not taking no notice. So he phoned up... and he had to redial two or three times before he started. And then she checked... Well anyway the week after he'd phoned there was no what you call in it so he wrote it in to the damn thing and said why is it when some people puts adverts in they not only put it in once they put it in three or four times the same week
[Hazel:] Mm.
[Marie:] this week again there's a lot of repeats in it, and he said other people that send adverts in can't even get er a look in, they don't, anyway that, after he wrote the letter it was in the following week. But... as you know a woman come, we, she saw it in the Post Office in the meantime and we sold it. phoning now seen it in the paper we told them it was sold. We had three calls last week... not it's, it's about a month since, wanting to know about the washing machine and we said it's sold... sold er a couple of weeks ago. Anyway... three people have phoned yesterday, we had two phone calls yesterday, in the morning... I had one last night and there was another one this morning about the washing machine and I said sorry but I said the advert was put in the Campaign I said a month or so ago. No she said it's in this week. So anyway yesterday afternoon I was checking through it when the phone went again to ask about the washing machine and I was looking through the paper to see whether, and they'd put it in this week! Silly things.
