VIPs

Mr Manscombe told us that the visitors were important. Well, if they so important as all that, why did they all drive such boring cars? Black, black, and black. If I was important I'd get a car in an interesting colour. They asked us all the most stupid questions you can imagine, and they all looked very thoughtful when they were listening to each other ask, but I'm not sure they heard one word of an answer. Get used to it, Mr Manscombe said when we were grousing afterwards. You'll be seeing a lot more of them. Of course, we never saw them or their boring cars again.
