Anyway The AA come and tow them to a garage where the engine and tank are drained and off they go again a hundred squid worse off. On the plus side they get to spend two hours playing pool in a very strange pub opposite Bedford general hospital. Meanwhile the rest of us have arrived at the Dive Inn where the lovely Jan greets us. Cathy is intrigued by what is on Bravo that night and makes a note to order Cable TV as soon as she gets home. Andy, Jim and Matt share one room.
Matt arrives last so obviously gets the crap bed.
Ben and Danny turn up at midnight looking extremely sheepish and go we all eventually go to sleep. Problem number two - we couldn't open the back door of the Portobello. Wait until it gets light to have a closer look while queuing at Stoney. We all kick and push the door, but it isn't moving. Danny and Matt return to the Dive Inn to phone a locksmith and investigate the possibility of going paintballing should the door remain firmly closed.
