How I Killed Margaret Thatcher (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Some weeks there was no work from Charlie at all, but usually there was some. In the slow weeks, my dad sometimes worked on the cars for Harry Robertson. Harry would swap bits from different cars around all the time. He would then stand there looking at the parts he’d laid out on the pavement or inside a car’s bonnet, scratching his head. Sometimes he’d sell one of the cars and stand shaking hands with the new owner in the street, trying not to look too relieved. Nothing but old bangers, my nan, who knew nothing about cars, would say. Meks the whole street look a mess. Sometimes my dad would help Harry fix one of his puzzles. My dad could fix anything. He stood there looking at the broken engine for a long time and then he’d move a few things around, or get Harry to fetch something from one of the other cars or his toolbox, and the car would start up again. If Harry sold a car that my dad had helped him on then Harry would give my dad some money.
