A Dirty Job

Notebook found in a deserted holiday park.
Saturday, 4 August 2007

This is a written account of a conversation that took place, almost to the letter, last week. I'd been working the lower bar alone, and had some hassle from a couple of 18-19 year olds, who in all likelihood were locals. I'd refused them entry, and they'd given me some lip, and a bit more when they drove off past the bar. However, when a couple of older lady owners came up and said one of the lads had tried to assault them, I felt it best to call it into the security lodge, and so I got on the radio.

"Yeah, lodge... I've just had two 18-19 year old lads, probably locals, trying to get into here. I refused them entry, they gave me some abuse, and I've now had two female owners come forward saying that they tried to assault them. They've just driven off in a silver Volkswagen, new, either a Polo or a Golf. Can you swing the cameras down by the back exit and see where they go? Thanks."

A few seconds silence.

"Yeah, ADJ... what colour was the car?

"Silver Volkswagen."

"Yeah... was it red?"

"Silver Volkswagen."

"Yes, but what colour was it?"

"SILVER Volkswagen."

"Oh, sorry... I didn't hear you say silver."

Minutes pass.

"Yeah, ADJ... a silver car has just driven out of the complex."

"Was it a Volkswagen?"

Beat.

"No."
