I must have given this anecdote a dozen times over the years, but just in case I haven’t, here’s the latest version:
We had ourselves a little gang on the island when we were kids, we definitely saw ourselves as a separate tribe. I sort of grew up, a couple of them didn’t. To the point where once they were old enough to have a car, they were once stopped by the police.
Police looked in the boot, and there were petrol bombs. What are these for, asks Mr Police. Now, if I had been there I’m pretty sure my answer would have been “what the bloody hell are they, who’s put them in my bloody car, someone’s going to get a slap for this!”
Jeff’s answer (we’ll call him Jeff, cos that’s his name) was “I was gonna bomb Butlins”.
If I put an x somewhere on that map of my choosing, do you agree to stand there at high tide?
