from a firm of adjusters is going up to inspect the damaged goods tomorrow to give
an opinion about their value.
PETER: Well.. what's the problem? They won't make any difficulty about paying up,
surely?
BUCKHURST: Well, it could be difficult. Our insurers seem to think the desks and
chairs may not be too badly damaged.
PETER: I think someone from the firm ought to go up and give us an opinion of the
damage. I'd like to go up there myself and have a look.
BUCKHURST: Oh, but It's miles from a main road. It's right up in the Moorland
Valley
PETER: Well, I can't go, anyway. I've got too much to do at the moment.
I'll get Christopher Thorn to go up, he's got a car...

and these desks could be repainted.
CHRISTOPHER: Oh, I don't think I agree, Mr. Roberts. Look at this chair, it's a
complete write-off. We'd never be able to repair that. And the filing cabinets. Look at
them! They must have been under water for some time. They would have to be
stripped down and completely repainted.
ROBERTS: H'm, well, I think I might recommend payment of.. seventyfive per cent
of the insured value... Hello! What's this piece of paper?
CHRISTOPHER: I should think it used to be stuck on the windscreen; it's come
unstuck with the damp and... What does it say?
ROBERTS: 'Drivers are warned that it is a serious offence against company
regulations, as agreed with the General Workers' Union, to give lifts in this vehicle to
any person not being an employee of Andersons Transport Company.' You realise
what this means?
CHRISTOPHER: Sorry, no, I don't
ROBERTS: Didn't the driver Inform the police that he gave a lift to this man in the
