Decisions.
Turncoat Jenny caught her fingers in the till
Got disapproving looks from the butcher
& the man from Greggs. We all knew
she subbed in the General Strikes.
Dad told us not to talk to T.J.
Said she was a bad un'
Left us out in the cold to jump
into bed with the scabs.
That Jenny did it all for love
meant jack to my old man as he stuffed
another fiver in his rainy day fund
a Tolpudyll Martyrs cup, lest he forgets.

I enjoy this, Shaun, but am a little concerned about the anachronisms - was Greggs around back then?
Hi,
As I thought, this still needs a lot of work on it... it came together in quite a cliched way on reflection.
The intention was to have Greggs in for exactly that reason (I wasn't born myself in the period a lot of it refers to). As Greggs is a modern (ish) store, the long bearing grudge was meant to come to light. It obviously isn't clear enough with just that little clue to go at.
Greggs may go entirely though, being honest. This one a day thing forces things out of me like butchers and bakers. Bleugh.
Thanks for the comment :)
