“I’m not afraid of Dugdale. It isn’t that. I’m in the clear nowadays. I want to stay that way. Dugdale will still be in town when you’ve disappeared in the dust. I can’t afford to be on the wrong side of him. I don’t want you pissing in my chips, Mr Wright.”

“You saw me the other day leave that meeting in a hurry. Do you want to know why I left? If I had stayed I would have ruddy thumped that know-it-all bastard. Just you wait, though, when I get the chance I’ll really piss in his chips. I’m no delicate flower and I can shout my mouth off with the best of them at times.”
