How much are your apples?

There on a special, 20p each. Or 4 for a £1.

CUSTOMER
What about your oranges?

TRADER
There on a special, 30p each. Or 3 for a £1.

PAUSE.

CUSTOMER
I'll take 3 of your oranges.

THE TRADER PUTS 2 IN A BAG.

TRADER
That's £1

CUSTOMER
That's only 2 you put in the bag

TRADER
I'm sorry sir. (PUTS ANOTHER ORANGE IN THE BAG)It's the old age. Its slowing me down.

THE CUSTOMER HAND'S OVER A £10 NOTE. THE TRADER TAKES OUT TAKES OUT TWO £1 COINS FROM HIS CASH BOX AND GIVES IT THE CUSTOMER.

TRADER (CONT'D)
That's your change sir.

CUSTOMER
Wait a minute. That's not right.

TRADER
I've given you too much change. Eh? (THE SHOPLEEPER TAKES A POUND BACK)
If I keep this up I'll be out of business.

First of all Nadeem welcome to the forum.

I get the punchline but this is a bit of a weak sketch in my opinion, the dialogue seems a bit bland and robotic.

Thanks for your feedback Paul I totally agree with you, the dialogues are weak. I should have spent a bit more time on it.

If the "dialogues are week" we'll all be here till next month trying to sort it.
