General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Arfur, when you opened the shop you employed a paper boy on 14 December, a Master tomplum. He completed all the tests and he showed you his bike and everything. He started at 6 a.m. on the 15th. Which excuse did he make and have you sacked him? Are you taking any more on? 12/6d a week plus tips seems good to me, (but I'm not applying, got a job with the butcher, delivering meat orders).
