I'd say I never 'ad family before, but that's not really true. I've always 'ad people - I don't do well on me own. But it's never been like it is 'ere - so many people all packed together in one bit of spacetime. Cass and me were friends, but not that close - but there's Babs and there's 'er dad. We're like a row of bloody dominoes on this boat and there's too many of 'em falling lately, is what.
