We returned to the Oak in the evening for liquid refreshment but mainly to promote the rebuild via a slide show in the Roy Castle corner. “Psycho”, real name Colin, suitably named because of his unpredictable violent behaviour, has volunteered his services to the cause. He was very impressed with the location shots and clarity of the images, but, unfortunately, he doesn’t know his ‘bell housing’ from his ‘lower trunnion bush’. We have decided that his involvement with the project should be minimal, possibly, the removal of rust from the prop shaft. Even he can’t make a balls of that.
I sensed, however, that everyone else was fast becoming bored with “Tales of the Burlington”. Faces turned to the bar, comments such as, ‘oh not again’ could be heard across the room; sadly, even our closest supporters, even some very close friends were beginning to talk to total strangers avoiding any verbal exchange with us due to the certainty of being bored shitless, experiencing death by ‘oily rag’.
We are in danger, like Davina McCall, of being over exposed; we too could run the risk of being rapidly as well as intensely despised by the paying public.
Nevertheless, it has been another very enjoyable day.
