[Chris:] So how much you reckon that's gonna be, cost then?
[Angela:] He said what, if you're getting them... he got a worktop six erm... sixty inches. That must be two foot he must mean. And... for his kitchen the thick stuff. That's what you want he said the thick stuff. You don't want that thin little stuff like that. He said and that cost me... he looked round, twenty two pound. Well I said Angie said she went up Wicks' and got her worktops and it cost her fifteen pound.... And he said well Wicks' are cheaper he said we'll go to Wicks' then and...

[Chris:] What colour are you do, well you gotta, haven't you?
[Angela:] Yeah. as well. So that's what he said, it might be a bit more than twenty pound. So he said, I said well... what if I get the stuff... right? Erm I said if there's any money left over... I'll give you the money, I said and give you the rest the week after or if there's none left I'll give you the tenner week... Oh that's alright don't worry about that, he said, that's fine. I said alright. Well I want it done properly see and I said you gotta drill and all that.
