CHOOSING A PET
- Good afternoon, madam. Can I help you?
- Yes, I’m looking for a pet for my son. Can you suggest
anything?
- What kind of pet does he want? A traditional pet: a cat or a dog
or something unusual?
- Well, he’d like a snake or a crocodile. But he isn’t going to get
one.
- We have got a nice Alsatian dog at the moment.
- An Alsatian dog? Did you say an Alsatian dog? Did you say
Alsatian? Oh, no I’ve read about them in a paper

CHECKING AN ALIBI.
There was a bank robbery in Central London yesterday. Just before
closing time yesterday a robber entered the Butcher Street branch of
the National Westminster Bank. He was carrying a shotgun and
wearing a stocking mask over his head. There were only a few
customers in the bank at the time. He made them lie on the floor
while the cashier was putting the money in a sack. As he was
leaving the security guard tried to ring an alarm, the robber shot him
and the guard is now at St. Patric’s hospital. Surgeons are trying to
save his life. Last night the police arrested him in South London. He
is now helping the police with their enquiries.
- On Tuesday afternoon I was at Escot races with my girlfriend
Isadora Bell. We left my flat at 1 o’clock in my white “Jaguar” and
drove to Escot. We didn’t stop for petrol but we had lunch in a pub.
I don’t remember the name of the pub but it was somewhere
between London and Escot. We had beer and sandwiches outside.
We arrived at a race track at 1.55 in time for the first race. We
stayed there until the last race at 5 o’clock. We were very lucky. I
won a lot of money but I can’t remember exactly how much. That’s
why I had a lot of money with me when the police came to my flat
at 5.30. I left Isadora in Central Liondon. She wanted to buy some
clothes in Oxford Street. I don’t know where she is now.
- You’re Jonh Alfred Smizers.
- Yes, I am.
- You’re 36.
- Yes, that’s right. It was my birthday yesterday.
- You sell cars.
- Yes, I do and … other things.
- You live in Ealing.
- Yes, I do. I’ve lived here all my life.
- You went to Escot races yesterday.
- That’s right.
- You weren’t alone.
- No, I wasn’t. I was with Isadora Bell.
- But you’re married, Smizers.
- Yes, but I haven’t seen my wife for three years.
- I see. Now. You left your flat at 1 o’clock.
- Yes, about 1 o’clock.
- You were in your “Jaguar”.
- Yes, I was.
- You didn’t stop for petrol.
