There is no shortage of Charity Shops in Uckfield, but Wilson said I would be surprised how few socks they have in stock — even odd ones!
I didn't tell him this, but actually I'm not at all surprised — I wouldn't have expected second-hand socks to be a big seller at any price, even for charity.
On his return from the village (once again sock-less) Wilson mentioned that he'd noticed a lot of empty commercial premises — 'Yet another symptom' he said, 'of our financial decline.'
Statements like this are uncharacteristic of W — I hope he's not considering a career in financial forecasting. Not with his track record of failed business enterprises...
