Rudi I bought Scream when it came out, first edition, probably worth about a million quid now. Anyway, I lent it to a woman across the road. She was proper Hull, saucy, funny, loved a drink and a smoke. We'd sometimes sneak out after our other halves had gone to bed and share a bottle of wine on her front step. Then her other half fucked off and we made it a regular Friday meet. She had kids of a similar age to my lad. We'd walk them the two minutes to school and back together. 'What you gonna do now then Caroline?' I'd say as I headed to the car for work.
'Probably open a bottle of wine, put some porn on and have a couple of wanks.'
'Nice. I'll see you later.'
She later told me that about seven or eight of the women, her included, were all sleeping together during the day. 'Kids at school, not working, kills a few hours. Nowt proper lezzie, just a bit of fun.'
I was astonished.
'Oh fucking get real, every school gate in the country has a little lady sex club. What do you think we do, spend all day knitting?'
'Fair point.'
I don't live there any more. She was ace. Orchard Park lass I think. Anyway, as you were, good book that.
