Excuses on the phone

The kitchen at eight, the truck hasn't come, Yadav ji on the phone: the truck broke down at the flyover, either the goods by nine or the lane today, otherwise my kitchen stops, tomorrow I'll bring double, either tomorrow at half past seven or else we stop, don't say such things, deliver on time, otherwise what is the deal for, my word, and today by nine or else the lane.
