The Cherry Sundae Company

You have to bide your time when you live a life of crime.

You have to wait for the moment. Tina and me discovered that when we founded The Cherry Company Not that we thought that what we were doing was really against the law.

We were just balancing things up a bit. It seemed to us that there was only so much money in the world and some people had too much of it.

Others hadn't enough. It was our aim to sort that out. You could say that we were vigilantes. Of course it all went horribly wrong. But then, everything that Tina and me do always does.

It started simply enough. We were bored. There isn't a lot to do in Appleby after dark. There's the pub, The Dog and Crown. I know all about that, I work there. My Mum and Dad own it. I've been serving at the bar and cooking the meals since I left school.

There's the town hall where they have bingo on Mondays, a slimming club on Tuesdays, the Women's Institute on Wednesdays, the youth club on Thursdays and the dramatic society on Fridays.

I'm in the dramatic society, but I've never had a lead role.

I usually play a maid or someone who hangs about in the background.

I've always wanted to be a star. I think that's another thing that made me do what I did.
