I was quite stern about it and rather hurt. And yep I did expect to get stuck in with a couple of yoots slouching in their reclined seats. Then I saw two old dears in the back and a rather sullen guy in his fifties at the wheel. I maintain he swung wildly at me in a manner befitting one of his more errant nephews.
now, regards the getting-ready-to-say-goodbye bit...
a) I was about to leave when someone (I won't name names) rolled up at ten past ten of all times, leading to another pint;
b) I was ready to go when Festus, not ready, asked me to "help him with his drink a bit" which led to another ten minutes
c) I was blinded briefly by Clefty's new front power beam when I asked her to "see if you can see it across the London sky..like batman" and had to have a moment to myself (okay this one isn't true)
all good excuses - but apologies again for keeping the wagon train waiting...
