"got any gold"?

A car booter's eye view.

"No I don't have any sodding gold......and if I did did you really think I'd bring it to a car boot sale and sell it to you for a pound fifty"?!!

.....also............

"How much is all this"? asks a random car boot attendee holding an armful of my sister's children's (quality) clothing that they've grown out of.

"Oh....that's 5 pounds and fifty pence please" says my sister after totting up the agreed amount for each item.

"Five"! says the random woman

"Five fifty"! says my sister

"Five"! says the random woman, making no eye contact whilst continuing to rake through our stuff.

"Five FIFTY"!! says my sister smiling through gritted teeth.

"Five"! says the random woman, still raking and still with no eye contact whilst maintaining her monotone.

"FIVE FIFTY"!!! says my sister raising her voice ever so slightly but remaining calm on the surface.

"Five"! says the random woman, still raking, still not making eye contact and also still retaining the indifferent monotone.

"DO YOU WANT A BAG"?!! says my sister.

This actually went on a bit longer (about another 3 or 4 "five"/"five fiftys") but I need to get to bed.
