In an attempt to get to know each other, Nicola asked Timmy about his family âHas Mrs Mallett got the same personality?â
He’ll be entertaining and funny’
âSheâs practicality. Sheâs funny. I make her laughâ he replied.
She continued. âSo when youâre at home, what sort of clothes do you wear? Is it all wacky stuff?â
Timmy replied âI like colour. I wear shorts quite a lot. I go into Maidenhead three miles away and people go oh (in recognition). Iâm used to it and its part of my job.â Timmy then asked if Nicola gets recognized, âIt depends where. Not a tremendous amount walking down the street. It all depends where I am. In a nightclub, my marketâs all lads, so it all depends where I am or at the football.
Timmy asked if she was polite. âIsh.â She replied. âSometimes yeah, sometimes not.â
Conversation soon turned to David as Nicola pointed out that itâs his birthday next week. She asked Timmy how he thought David would cope.
âHeâll be entertaining and funnyâ, Timmy replied. Nicola said that she thought he seemed fragile. âI wouldnât have descried him as fragileâ, he answered.
Timmy then customized his hat with a stick of charcoal, as he painted spots on it.
