A sheepish call from the bloke who did a runner with his Mrs.

You may remember my delight in discovering that the couple who did a runner from Real Man Pizza last Friday had left behind an expensive handbag. The bloke telephoned today…

“I think my girlfriend may have left her handbag at your place”, he said. “Would that have been last Friday I countered? “ “Yes”. He said. “You were the couple who lefty without paying your bill were you not?” I cenquired in a polite but firm manner..

“Yes, I am very sorry about that, of course I will settle in full.” He said rather sheepishly. “I have your bag”, I answered. A few hours later the gent wandered in, terribly apologetic and looking rather sheepish. He paid. He said they had had a difficult night.” I understand” I said gracefully and patted him on the shoukder in a new man, sort of understanding way. Inside I was laughing. Justice.

On the subject of telephone calls and justice, Rebekah Brooks and her old man wandered past Real Man today, arm in arm. They did not exactly seem to be full of the joys of life.
