[Panel 1]
[Jaakko]
Any luck yet?
[Ginny]
Couple of interviews,
no bites.
Had a friend working for one
of the big store chains, he
could have got me in there...
unfortunately it was Woolworth's.
[Jaakko]
Could have been worse,
could have been MFI.
[Ginny]
I suppose you could always get a job riding
one of those passenger-bicycle things...
[Panel 2]
[Jaakko]
I thought of that, but when I
did a trial they turned me down.
[Ginny]
What? I thought you were
expert on a bicycle?
[Jaakko]
They said cornering at thirty
would scare the punters.
[Ginny]
It's a funny thing about all
these companies going bust...
[Panel 3]
[Jaakko]
Really?
I don't see the joke.
[Ginny]
They're mostly ones that
had lost their way.
[Jaakko]
Oh, I see. Yes. Or recently been
sold for a pound, or shuffled off
in a management buyout...
[Ginny]
Yes, but think about it. What's
a thing you'd have made a special
trip to Woolworth's to get?
[Panel 4]
[Jaakko]
Er.
[Ginny]
There's nothing.
They'd have gone bust anyway.
It's just that now there
aren't any suckers waiting to
buy them up and strip the assets.
[Bell]
It all fell apart
when Woolworth's
stopped selling wool...
