DIALOGUE
- Shall we pop out for a coffee and some fresh air?
- Pfft. You call that 'fresh'? Now, down in Kent, that's where the air smells like heaven!
- More like 'manure'!
- Well, if it weren't for a bit of manure you city folk would have nothing to eat!
- There is plenty of marvellous food in London, you know...
- Right... You must think your tomatoes grow in plastic crates and your steak comes from a tree.
- Actually, I'm a vegan.
- I'm sorry, I had no idea. It must be tough...
- Oh, no, it's not a disease... I'm perfectly fine!
- Are you sure? You don't look so well to me...
- Excuse me?
- Big city life is not a bed of roses! Always in a rush, head stuck in your phone...
- Speaking of which, I really must dash into a meeting, I'll catch you later!
