This was the cry from the scruffy little urchins outside Videostar Video Shop, Queen's Park Road. Their attempt at a"guy" was pathetic compared to the guys I have made with proper clothes and newspaper and effort. I'm sorry, but a bin liner with a balloon stuck on the top makes for a pretty anorexic and pathetic-looking Guy. Maybe he was on hunger strike, I don't know.
Anyway, I ignored them as usual and entered the shop. As I walked to the door, an idea struck me. I looked through my change, and there was one shining with the gleam of possibility.
"Penny for the Guy" they repeated as I left the shop.
So I gave them one. Their immediate surprise and excitement was immediately followed by the inevitable groan of disappointment.
Why were they complaining? I wondered to myself. After all, I gave them exactly what they asked for.
