Conversation One
W: Gosh! Have you seen this Richard?
M: Seeing what?
W: In the paper, it says there’s a mangoing round pretending he’s from the electricity board. He’s been calling atpeople’s homes, saying he’s come to check that all their appliances are safe.Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea and while they are out of theroom, he steals their money, handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their ownfault. You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It’s all very well to say that, butsomeone comes to the door and says electricity or gas, and you automaticallythink they are ok, especially if they flash a card to you.
M: Does this man have an I. D. then?
W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used towork for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the policeare warning people, especially pensioners not to admit anyone unless they havean appointment. It’s a bit sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to thepost office to draw her pension when he called. She said he must have followedher home. He stole the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like? Surely theymust have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In histhirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent, sounds a bit like youactually.
