Sykes of Sebastopol Terrace Quotes

“Honest Fred, the punter's friend, was offering ten thousand to one against it being the end of the world by dawn, and such was the gullibility of people that he was doing a roaring trade. I mean, couldn't they see that if the world did end, Honest Fred wouldn't be there to pay out, and even worse, they wouldn't be there to collect. However, ten thousand to one isn't a bad bet so I had a fiver just in case.”
