Viva Las Evesham ……….. ?

As we’ll be in Minehead for Easter, Young Master Bertie’s most favourite place in the whole wide world, no doubt a trip to one of their amusement arcades will be de rigueur.  Nigel has been saving his 2p’s for months now.

In Evesham too, we have recently acquired a “slot shop”, which when Nigel first saw it, thought it said “Meercat Slots” which, he mused, had a comfy sort of ring to it, what is he like?

However, we all remain very much strangers to it’s pleasures, although Darrell did say that it had crossed his mind as to whether it would be a place to hone his skills in preparation for being up against Iris and Bertie, the demon 2p players in Minehead.

Though slot curious”, I have gently persuaded Darrell against venturing past its portals, as he may very well find that it’s a very different place to those we like to frequent on our holibobs, the distinct lack of flashing lights, fair ground type music and familiar kerchink of dropping coins might be a clue.

I don’t think it’s one of those places that would welcome a “newbie” wielding a plastic bag full of 2p’s, let alone provide a lucky strike pot to empty them out in ……. perhaps best wait for Minehead instead?

Wise to discourage young Nigel. I imagine that you have to be aged 18 (or more), too.

How old is Nigel? It is difficult to know. I think that he has a wise head on young shoulders.

Is he one of the three wise monkeys? If so, which one?

Yes Darrell hold fast Minehead, Easter and slot stops or ever slot shops are nearly here. JantheFan x
