Ally.

A ___ gent came and looked at our damaged glass washer and told us it will cost £188 to fix. We went to Thornaby and banked bags of money, bought a newspaper and bars of chocolate. Ally continues to feel sick before breakfast and sits in bed earting digestive biscuits. Margaret Staveley (sic), a snooty barmaid, handed in her resignation and left. She said goodbye to me and swept past Ally. Ally says she's never been 'hated' before and cannot understand this new dimension to our lives. Bosses are always hated though, aren't they? ________.
