I used to work with a guy from Skegness…. Decent enough lad, good workman too. But he was made redundant in one of the recessions, so he joined UKIP & became a black-cab driver.
Some people have such sad endings….

I've been trying to write one for 5 years, but I can't get out of Chapter 1. Pity as (IMO) it's a cracker, based on fact and I'd sell Spielberg the movie rights.

Why didn't they just laugh? Men's meat and two veg should never see the light of day and most know it. There's a reason women don't lust after them

(cruel ..but kinder in the end for the groom to know the truth )

Are your problems with brits to do with poor quality booze? Maybe the producers need to up their game. Its interesting, we have 2 big british cruise liners a week in winter, they disgorge about 2500 brits in search of a bar. Here the rum is very pure, 70-75% alcohol, and its never measured. Ive given the stuff up now, but i well remember having to frequently ask for some coke in my rum. Even the british brewery beer is 7-10%.

The brits on a mission are just not expecting it, they drink, fall over and go back at 5pm as cargo, never seen a fight or even a strong disagreement, they cant stand up most of the time.

It helps that they have to get on their floating prefab and leave early evening too i guess.
