“Richard and his lot are stupid, you know they take the piss out of everyone they can. And I guess everyone just went along with it, but none of us really meant it, and now I feel awful cos of, you ’know, your arm and stuff.

Ben nodded, he had forgotten about that, but now she mentioned it he did remember having to pass her that first night straight after getting into a nappy.
