A Run for Your Money1949

Editor:
Well, now, we must just establish your identity.

David 'Dai Number 9' Jones:
Identity?

Editor:
Oh, purely a formality, of course.

David 'Dai Number 9' Jones:
But I've never had to do that before. They all know me back home, see?

Whimple:
But you must have an identity card, don't you?

David 'Dai Number 9' Jones:
Well, it's behind the teapot at home, with my union card. Best place for them - I might lose them in London.

Editor:
Ah. Heh. [pause] Edmund?

Whimple:
May I suggest, uh...

[dialing gesture]

Editor:
Ah, exactly. Ring up the manager of the colliery. No doubt he can help us.

Whimple:
Excuse me, sir. [takes phone and dials 0] Get, get me... [pause as he reads the place name again] Heh heh, ummm, uh, H for hyacinth, A for azalea, F for fuschia...

Editor:
[taking the phone impatiently] Hafoduwchbenceubwllymarchogcoch 1!

David 'Dai Number 9' Jones:
Congratulations, sir!
