- How far have you got with demolishing that building?
- We’ve still got a few weeks to go yet. I got the fright of my life working there the other day.
- Why, what happened?
- Well, you know I said it was like working in a haunted house?
- Yes.
- Well, the other day I was working there alone, it was my workmate John’s day off. I had only been working there about an hour when I thought I heard footsteps behind me. I looked around and there was nobody there so I carried on working. Next thing the old piano in the corner started to play itself.
- No way!
- Yes I swear to you the keys were going up and down as if an invisible man were playing some crazy tune on it.
- You’re pulling my leg.
- On my mother’s life, I’m not.
