The Critics Group once owned a van to transport members to and from bookings.
They worked a rota of who drove and who drank - sometimes it worked.
One night, coming back into London from the wedding of one of the members somewhere in Essex, the driver got hopelessly lost and eventually drew up to a roundabout.
He spotted a police car parked a few yards down a road opposite, drove anti-clockwise around the roundabout, stopped and asked the driver directions.
The rest is folk history....
