Charters:
Talking of wartime sacrifices, Caldicott - do you remember old Parterton?

Caldicott:
Chap with all those rubber plantations in Malaya?

Charters:
Yes, that's the fellow. Do you remember his valet, Hawkins?

Caldicott:
Yes.

Charters:
He's evacuated to Weston-super-Mare.

Caldicott:
Really?

Charters:
Parterton's simply livid. Hasn't dressed himself for 30 years.

Caldicott:
What's he going to do about it?

Charters:
Follow him. To Weston-super-Mare.

Caldicott:
Oh, by the way, how many mines have we laid here this morning?

Charters:
Erm... 86. No no, 87.

Caldicott:
Sure?

Charters:
Positive.

Caldicott:
Hmm. We must remember not to bathe here after the war.
