Fork off

Mark tried to shrug off Tony’s hand from his back. But Tony released Max on his left and pushed Mark forward to enable him to pull up his shirt to retrieve the toasting fork, which he held out in front of him as Mark winced and ducked away to the right.

A man two rows back who could see Tony fiddling under Mark’s shirt called out.

“Oi, you pervert! You with the two kids! You dirty bloody nonce!”

At which the man’s companions, all in ugly moods, joined the call.

“Leave that kid alone, you filthy perv!”

“You fucking paedo!”
