True story - Many years ago my mate was forced to spend some time up at the La Moye Hilton. He was soon put on work detail and sent off with a motley crew to clear the foot paths around Bouley Bay. At the end of the day he went to find his fellow inmates and to his great surprise he discovered they were gone. He walked up to the Trinity Arms and explained his situation to the Landlord. Quick as a flash he was served with a pint and a pie and showered with sympathy. The Landlord said he'd go an call the prison and explain the prediciment. Come closing time and some 7 pints later my mate asks the Landlord, for the 5th time, "what time did they say they would be collecting me?".
They didn't he said. I forgot to tell them! Want another pint?
