A woman walks into social services with 3 small children.

Woman
Take em! I can’t stand em any more.

Social worker.
Do you beat them?

Woman
Yes! At scrabble. Every single time. Theyre proper shit at it..

Social Worker
Do you treat them well?

Woman
No! I never buy them sweets or nuffin.

Social Worker
Do they get left without proper adult supervision?

Woman
Yes! They are left with their father all the time.

Social Worker
Well to be honest it seems to me you are doing a fine job. We can’t possible take them.

Woman
But I don’t want em. I really don’t like em..

Social Worker
Unless you are physically, mentally or sexually abusing them, or perfectly fantastic with them, then we don’t like them either.

Woman
That’s so unfair.

Social Worker
Look your children are fine. You are just having a bad day. If we were to take them, you may never get them back.

Woman
Good!

Social Worker.
I tell you what. Have a think about it. If you still want me to place your children into care in a few days, give us a call & we will come & get them.

Woman
Promise?

Social Worker
Yes- ish

WOMAN WALKS OUT OF THE OFFICE.

Little Girl.
Aunty Suzi, how much longer will mummy be in the hairdressers?





 
Forgive me!
Warm Regards
Charley Rance.

It all works except for one reference: chavs don't play Scrabble. Make it a PS3 game or something (I'd suggest one, but at 35, I'm about 20 years too old to play with games consoles).

Thought beginning was a bit weak.

"Social worker.
Do you beat them?

Woman
Yes! At scrabble. Every single time. Theyre proper shit at it.."

A bit obvious

But thought it really picked up towards the end and liked the punchline a lot.

Overall B-

Bare in mind A's are very hard to come by.

:D

So it's a sketch about a woman trying to give away her sister's kids? That's pretty dark. Well done you.
