I was trying to get an appointment at a local chiropodist in the working class area of town, but all appointments were booked-up for months in advance.
Whilst chatting to a neighbour on the bus and explaining my situation I said in desperation "I was having to go to the very swish chiropodist in the pukka part of the next town".
"OOooh, you don't want to do that" she said, "it'll cost you and arm and a leg!"
