A Kid for Two Farthings

[factormax]

Anyone seen this great film? Been shown a few times on TV in recent months. Made in 1955, it has a truly fantastic cast including Celia Johnson, Irene Handl, young versions of Sid James and Barbara Windsor (though she was not credited) and the gorgeous Diana Dors in her prime! I believe it's available on DVD, so if you enjoy the older film, it's well worth taking a look!

I thought this was a BST offer. My scullery maid has just died of smallpox so I'm looking to buy a kid for two farthings.

Anyone got a spare orphan for sale?

That's just what you are telling everyone. She's really gone to the workhouse heavy with your child, poor thing.

Sir, you will find her grave in my churchyard. I conducted the funeral myself. Unless you can substantiate your allegations I must insist you retract and withdraw. Otherwise I shall have no other option than to challenge you to a dual at a time and place of your choosing.

I remain, sir -

faithfully yours
