Reference:- Sometimes morning conversations at The Sky Reply become confused .

 Reference:-  This happened over breakfast . 

This morning we were all tucking in to some of Gabbo's excellent eggs on toast .  Dog even scored a couple because the yolks broke in the fry pan .... Gabbo is a stickler for presentation . 

Anyway , the following conversation unfolded when Monte asked Ken junior whether he could answer a question for him . 

" Can you answer a question for me ? " ,  Monte said . 

" I'll do my best . " , Ken junior said . 

" What are your thoughts on the people of Gaza ? ", Monte said . 

" My heart goes out to those poor people .  Imagine living a life of quiet desperation , struggling just to survive day to day and keep a roof over your head . Most have no hope for their  future or the future of their children , who suffer from appalling lack of nutrition .  They are oppressed by a brutal conservative  regime that shows them no pity . And yet , only a few miles away , privileged folk live in luxury while turning a blind eye to a cruel system of apartheid from which they have benefited for decades . "  Ken junior said . 

" So that's what you think of the situation in Gaza ? " ,  Monte said . 

" Oh ... sorry , I thought you said the situation at the  Plaza . " , Ken junior said . 

 "  That's OK . I wanted to know about the Plaza too." , Monte said . 

 " Nobody has any money these days , do folk just go to the Plaza for the air conditioning ? " Gabbo said . 

" Yeah , I think so . " ,  Ken junior said . 

"  Stop talking with your mouths full. "  ,  I said . 

Dog , realizing no more eggs were coming his way , walked out of the kitchen in disgust . 

Your comrade , Ken .
