Fair enough. Thank you. :)

I also think the ending is a little weak, as though you weren't sure how to end it.

What I like about this piece is that it really can go anywhere. For instance....

Confused/annoyed, Aladdin rubs the lamp again only to hear a recorded message from an Indian call centre.

To make it more surreal the sketch could turn out to be a 'Watchdog' reconstruction on rip-off phone scams.

What particularly needs polishing Geoff?

Only read your first post Andyroo. Have now read your re-write and you've polished well.

Agree with 'picky' Billwill regarding historical accuracy. I'd also prefer a traditionally-dressed genie rather than a contemporary version.

Really liked the concept and the Genie's obligatory financial dialogue is spot-on.

Thanks very much :-)

I really liked the "I live in a bin" part. :) Good sketch. I like the re-write too.

Thanks :)
