Perhaps we should leave  it?<br \/>\nDel: What? With sixty grand just lying about somewhere.<br \/>\nGrandad:  Can&#8217;t you remember anything Del? You were more in with you dad then.<br \/>\nDel: No,  not about that time Grandad, don&#8217;t you remember, me and Sunglasses Ron were  ticket touting all through the World cup.<br \/>\nRodney: Really! I don&#8217;t remember  that. Did you get tickets for the final?<br \/>\nTrigger: Yeah, not half Dave. It was  thanks to Del I got tickets.<br \/>\nDel: Anything for a mate Trig.<br \/>\nTrigger: Eight  bob each or two for a quid.

Our dad&#8217;s were  on a fortune!<br \/>\nDel: Yeah! Not that ours let on at the time. Nor since, the  mean old tightwad. It was me that was still putting the dinner on the table  every week. It was me that brought the brand new trade vehicle. And all that  time he was sitting on a fortune!<br \/>\nGrandad: What brand new trade vehicle?<br \/>\nDel: The van.<br \/>\nRodney: Bloody hell Del, you brought that brand  new!<br \/>\nDel: August 66 Rodney it&#8217;s a D reg.<br \/>\nBrian: You&#8217;ve still got the van  then?<br \/>\nDel: Yeah!

I  reckon Inky would be alright but what about dad?<br \/>\nGrandad: It&#8217;s worth asking  him Del-boy.<br \/>\nDel: Yeah, alright, no harm in asking I suppose. OK Brian,  you&#8217;ve got our number, give us a ring when you&#8217;ve seen inky. And an update when  he&#8217;s spoken to dad.
