Nick の小話: lawn stolen

Nick: Good afternoon, and welcome to the Countdown studio. It's a time of year when we all spend a lot of time in the garden. Of course, we do. Nothing better. But did you hear the stoy, Rachel, quite recently, about the family up there in Scotland. In West Lothian, actually, the Scorer family, who woke up one day to find their whole lawn, during the night, had been stolen. Somedody hopped over the fence and rolled up thier lawn and took it away. It was in fact an artificial grass lawn.

Rachel: Mm-hm.

Nick: But nonetheless, somebody nicked it.

Rachel: Wow.

Nick: Isn't that terrible? Absolutely extraordinary. Anybody nicked anything from your garden?

Rachel: My cats used to bring strange things home, and my favourte story is when you look in the press under cat burglars. And there's one in particular that brings home 30-odd items from neighbours' gardens on the weekends. And they've got the picture of this cat sitting there looking really proud, with pants and socks and all sorts from all the neighbours. But mine used to bring in the weirdest thing Rafa brought in was a triceratops. So, it was stuff in the garden that I didn't know was even there, and he'd dig it up, find it, and present it to me in bed as a nice little present.

Nick: Brilliant. What a lovely story. They're so… Our cat, one of them… we're really quite worried. You know when they're getting old. And it's a terrible thing, isn't it?

Rachel: It's probably saying the same thing about you, Nick.

Nick: Quick as a flash! Brilliant.
