Genius and horribly mean.

I was planning on writing a silent sketch show at one point, fancy cooperating?

Yeah, why not. Thanks for critique.

If I get this, as I think I do, it's excellent. Nigel, you've got the short sketch well and truly down...

I'm guessing it's a disability check?

Very funny indeed.

Killer! Laughing out loud

Good stuff! I did literally LOL.

Yes Tommy, DLA stands for Disability Living Allowance.

It depends where you live.

Ring up your local Ice Cream Co and they might send a van round.

The adults are pretending to be disabled (for disability allowance) and are caught out, I believe.

I thought that some may not get it. Yes, there is a disability check going on. But, I am using the housing estate as a location because 'ice cream men' in certain places in Britain sell more than just ice cream. Hence, the adults running out and not kids.

ooOO, drugs are bad m'kay.

Not.
