Barnaby, got fed up with his job in Kelso council as a clerk.

He just walked out, and luckily walked straight into another job as ghillie
on the Tweed.

He vowed to buy a fishing jacket with his first wage!

Ghillie: Is he alright up there?
Paul: Yeah, he thinks he’s surfing.
Ghillie: Ok, then... if you’re sure.
Paul: ‘course I’m sure. Anyway, he’s insured.
Ghillie: Really? How much for? That’s if you don’t mind me asking?
Paul: Don’t know offhand. A few million, at least. Why?
Ghillie: Well... thing is, I’m retiring soon. And this is an old boat, so... I thought...
Paul: Murder him?
Ghillie: Oh, no. NO!!! We could just, erm... divvy up between the three of us?
Paul: I like your thinking, but he’s a mate of mine. He’s like a brother.
Ghillie: Yeah? Oh, right. Yeah, of course he is. Forget I mentioned it.
Paul: Mentioned what?
Ghillie: Cheers, Paul. You’re a proper geyser. Real old school.
