I was delivering in Central London this week, down by the river near Embankment tube station. A bloke started to erect a backdrop for the stage of an outdoor theatre behind my lorry. I said, "You can pack that up for a start". When he asked why, I said, "You're creating a scene".
He said, "You wouldn't have said that if I was William Shakespeare". I said, "He wasn't allowed round here, he was bard".
