ok, another tale of John.

back when I was still working I would occasionally fell a few trees for a local landscaping outfit, I would usually get John a few days or more work, he was despite everything a good worker, he was still driving at that time so I got him on my lorry insurance, we would generally get the wood for nothing and we would sell a bit for firewood here and there and keep Johns mum in wood for the year, if we had plenty of spare after that any proceeds would get put in a jar for a bit of a night out at the end of the year, so one Christmas we all go for a slap up meal and a few,, beers.

so we're all at Johns waiting for the minibus to pick us up and there's a knock on the door, thinking it was the minibus and being closest I said " here we go" and made my way to the door, I opened it and there's this woman and a bloke standing there?, " are you the minibus we ordered?" "no , Do you live here"?the woman said.

"No hold on I'll get him for you" and I gently closed the door and went and told John, "what do they want" he says, "I don't know I never asked, go and ask them"

I go back to the others and John goes to the door, when he opens it there's 3 people there,one is the minibus driver, plus the mystery pair, 

So John shouts "minibus is here" everyone is now standing in the hallway and John says "who are you two"?

the woman announces,, "we're collecting for the local swimming pool, would you like to donate"?

John says " I'm now going out but ok wait there" and disappears back into the house, we continue to board the minibus, so we're wait for John and the door opens and he steps out gives the woman a bucket of water, "There you go" and leaves them on the doorstep.

we were almost at the restaurant before the driver stopped laughing.

we had a great night out, next time I'll tell you what happened at the restaurant.
