The former Mr Snail had a conviction for 'Urinating in a Public Place', dating from about 1975. Cost him a £10 fine and an embarrassing conviction.*
He'd been on a lads' night out in Leicester and staggered up an alley for what he thought would be a discreet pee.
However, being a stranger to the area and drunk he found himself positioned next to the side exit of the building, which turned out to be a working men's club.
I used to remind him that he was lucky to be arrested and locked up rather than awarded a kicking by the Gentlemen Members.
*Years later he applied for a position in which this conviction would have been a big problem so he didn't want to disclose it on paper.
I suggested a way round it and he was successful, and the interviewers told him he had a very wise wife!
Did he carry on listening to me? Did he 'ell.
It never ceases to amaze me Escargot what decisions people make whilst under the influence.
That poor guy who went missing in Bury St Edmonds a few years back, decided it would be a good idea to sleep off his boozy night a dumpster. (RIP mate)
Anyway back on topic – few years back, I’m at work and notice that a crowd had gathered by one of the windows, with staff pointing and laughing at something out in the street. I walked over and there below was a obviously very drunk middle aged city guy, squatting in the kerb trying to take a dump. It was only about 4.30pm and broad daylight, how p!ssed does someone have to be..?
Someone must have called the Police, as soon, a City police car pulled up alongside, and 2 coppers threw him in the back and drove him off.
