I'm sure Clare took his silly question in her stride, and mentally raised two fingers in his direction: she always had a robust sense of humour. Surprised at Henry, though.

Im pretty sure the nylon undies had the words “Do you come here often” emblazoned below the logo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I witnessed something very similar in the early 80s. Used to go into the local Crown Court just to watch the proceedings and how stuff worked in practice In the dock the accused wore an oversized knitted, multi-coloured hat. The judge asked him what a Rastafsrian was and how they could be identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
