"Bloody ****! Quarter to four in the morning, and somebody's knocking on our door!", moaned the bloke to his wife.
"Probably been to the pub for a lockdown....lucky him....remember those days, dear? When we had a life..." he droned on.....
Another few knocks followed.
"God almighty! Are we ever going to get any sleep?!"
He turned over, pulling the duvet over his head.
Louder, most determined knocking.....
Laddo cursed, leapt out of bed, threw on his dressing gown and opened the bedroom window.
"For Christ's sake!", he bellowed,"What do you want?!"
A plaintive little voice answered.
"Sorry to wake you. Can you give me a push please?"
"Pineapple* off!", shouted the bloke.
"What's going on?" asked his wife as the bloke climbed back into bed.
"Some cretin's stuck, and wants a push.....I told him to forget it"
His wife thought for a moment, before reminding him of a similar event that had happened to them a few years before.
"Remember? We'd broken down in the middle of nowhere, we'd the three kids in the back and it was tippling down with rain? And those two blokes appeared out of the gloom and got us going again? Remember?"
"Yes, yes, OK, OK, I'll go down....."
The bloke threw some clothes on, went downstairs and opened his door.
"Are you still there?"
"Yes" came the reply, from around the corner.
"Are you still wanting a push?"
"Yes, please...."
"Where are you? I can't see you....." said the bloke, peering into the darkness....
"Over here", came the voice, "On the swings....."
