Oh dear!
Reminds me of the time we visited Sam Larner's village of Winterton to see if there were any old singers still there.
Around lunchtime we went into 'The Fisherman's Return, (where Sam and the other villagers used to meet every Saturday night for a singaround) to find it had recently been taken over by Londoners who were in the process of laying a carpet.
When we passed this information on to an old contemporary of Sam's, his response was, "a carpet; a bloody carpet; you can't spit on a carpet!"
