“I say, what spiffing advertising! Look, darling! A car atop a plinth!”
“My, yes! Let’s go inside. I say, you, scruffy unkempt local person, where’s the door?”
“Up thar. In th’ car.”
“What ho, that’s pretty rum! Let’s fetch a ladder! What fun! Thanks, aged country bumpkin!”
“Jed, wha’re them city folks a-doin wi’ that thar ladder?”
“I tol’ ‘em the diner were up thar.”
“In th’ car?”
“Arr.”
“Dumb townies. Look, it’s-a startin’ ta fall unner the weight.”
Crump!
“Two less city folks, ah reckon.”
“Arr. No bad thing.”
“No bad thing.”
“Pint?
“Arr.”

Never trust a city person with a ladder.

Yep! I tried to make them sound as unlikable as possible within the word count so we wouldn’t be tempted to feel too sorry about their fate!

We actually have a dealer with a car up on a plinth too, but I think the diner outback.

The city person in me takes offense at that.
The country person thinks that’s funny.
Wait. What? Now I’m confused and it’s all your fault.
