Oh, and bananas; that would have stopped them.

At the same time he also returned an amp I lent him 5 years ago and just noticed he had not returned the plug I also lent him. I even went to the trouble of attaching the plug to the amp with a bit of wire so he knew to bring it back at the same time.
No manners these day.

Back in ancient history I had a spell working at an assembly factory in a small town in Derbyshire. No migrant workers, no Bobs, not even any Celtic cousins. All locals.
But someone still went around smashing toilet seats.
At the time I assumed it was Derbyshire folk who couldn't cope with the toilet seat.

The young lady who had caused the situation was from Essex, if that helps.
