*Looks around the Snug, hoping for a sight of another potentially round-purchasing person. There is none.*

Er, Yeees. I do believe you may be correct. I was about to buy a round when you so kindly stepped in. Now ... where did I put my money?

*Pats jacket pockets.*

Of course - I looked in there earlier, so it must be in my waiscoat pocket.

*Rummages in waistcoat pockets. *

Aha!

*Extracts crumpled piece of paper. Inspects it.*

Oh, no - that's a shopping list I forgot about a couple of years ago.

*Searches again, this time extracting a small, extremely crumpled ball of what might once have been paper.*

There!

*A postcard floats through the front door. On one side is a pretty little picture of a small Ayrshire village, replete with Buckie swilling neds and evil eye giving little old ladies. On the other is a short missive as follows.*
I hope you are all surviving admirably during my sudden enforced absence and that the Rubber Inflatable Barman has kicked in as planned. If not please give the Edward VIII Coronation Ashtray a dunt and that should get him going. I hope to return soon and, in the meantime, please do lend some thought to clearing the patio in time for the "summer".

I hope someone is keeping the fire going,
Munchkin.

*picks up the card and annoyingly reads it aloud to the room*

*looks around* Pinky, what have you done with the Edward VII ashtray? You've cleaned at least twice that I've noticed, and no-one else would move it from the bar on account of it being made from real Birmingham cast-iron.

*Thinks about cleaning the patio. Shudders. Thinks about the ashtray.*

Wasn't he the one that invented the production line?



No ... that was Edward the Conveyor.

Kes

Erm, yes, well ... slightly prickly subject ... and I'm not altogether certain that I collected both the pints that were the agreed payment ...

You didn't drink all the water you were owed, either. Can I get you some now?
