lol, must be a whole south west thing. nothing like being chase by an angry farmer with a shotgun loaded with rice and salt. couldn't get away with it now. shame. those were the days!
I was lucky, he didn't have a shotgun and I had to explain I was looking for Dozmary Pool (one of the possible lakes in the old king arthur legend). I met him on the way back as well and got a sarcastic "Still there then is it boy?!"
TBS - Not sure how guests from the ranks of ordinary folk are chosen for the queens garden parties or even if it still happens, I am guessing if your family name is Ahmed you have no hope of making the list........
I got made to attend to a royal parade of some kind at school once, my name was drawn from a hat apparantly. Got me out of school for the afternoon anyway. Queenie passed me by without saying a word, probably thought I looked dangerous or something. Quite a royal gathering whatever the occassion was, queen mother, charlie, di, andrew and edward. I dont think I would be interested in attending some pretentious garden party anyway tbh!
Now if you will excuse me, I need to retire to my sofa where I intend to crash out and die after my first real 12 hour shift in my new job. Come the end of the year I will have muscles on my muscles, but today - I am f**ked!
Later people.
