But that ent note t'wat 'appened tother night, Air kid went missin' an' gi' us a fright. Ee snuck art after ee wenta bed, Nota word t'me, or ol' man ee sez, 'Ow ee got art oi dunno, th' tike, Ee also got olda 'is blimin bike.

Th' ol' man wus shout'n, ee wus frit y'savy, Ee tore orf up road, an got ona phone, T' copshop come 'n banged on air door. Sez 'as ee ever cleared orf afore, Sez 'is friend's missin', dya know Paul? 'Is mum's gotta voice like Barnum's bull, Allus yellin', 'n' shoutin', she enalf loud, Oi ent loike that gel, oim a bit t'proud.
