William Whereabouts in Heaton Moor? Lilly At the top of Broadstone Road. William Whereabouts in Heaton Moor? Lilly At the top of Broadstone Road.

By the nursery there. William Thats a nice street. Lilly I think so. William Which numbers your house? Lilly 23. William 23. Right.

The houses on that street are some of the oldest in Stockport, did you know that? Lilly No. William Theyre old nineteenth-century industrialist houses. Some of the shops on Heaton Moor Road are even older. Practically medieval. Is it very different here? Lilly It is a bit. William It must be slightly disorientating having to adjust to a new town in such a short space of time, is it? Lilly Its not too bad. William It must be slightly disorientating having to adjust to a new town in such a short space of time, is it? Lilly Its not too bad.

William Were the people there unthinkably intelligent? Lilly No. William Did they have enormous foreheads and big bulging brains?

They were really rich and stupid. William I want to go to Cambridge. Lilly Do you? William That or Oxford. Its my lifes ambition. How did you get here? Lilly What? William What mode of transport did you use? To get to Stockport, I mean. Not to school.

Although you can tell me what mode of transport you used to get to school if youd prefer. Lilly We drove. William With everything packed in the car or did you hire a removal company? Lilly We hired a removal company. We had some things packed in the car. William I like your haircut. William Is that coat real fur? Lilly No. William Its faux? Lilly Thats right. William Thats a relief. Lilly Yeah. William Itd be terrible if you were some kind of animal killer. William Itd be terrible if you were some kind of animal killer.

Imagine my embarrassment. Lilly Im not. William The fur trades abominable. People who wear fur coats should be skinned alive in my opinion. Lilly Mine too. Im glad. Im glad.

Im William. Lilly Hi William. William Ive been coming here for five years. I know the place completely inside out. I know every nook and cranny and everything so, if you want any help...
