Seem to recall there was a John Batley on the Lead Action Group too ?   I doubt it will be the same one though.   :frown:

I somehow got invited to this a couple of years ago. Lovely drinks reception, nice sit-down dinner, during which I sat next to a lovely lady from The Field. I can't remember what she did. But she did describe me as a social hand-grenade, which I thought was brilliant! ?

​I do not suppose she pulled your pin out though....................did she ?      :wink:

 

[Will Hewland]

I can't say too much..

 

[Simbo]

Will 'Heinous' Hewland................go on tell us what you said to the lovely lady with the bush!

 

[Will Hewland]

I didn't offend a lady of course. Merely my observations of the general evening left her in a state of, well, trepidation and awe. ?

 

[Rosso]

So she was no lady.

Which field did she come from?

Why don't you remember what she did?

​So the evening did not end in a bang then ? 

 

[RobertBeard]

No she was too left Field!
