Re: Hoyland near Barnsley (S74)
(Scene: Dull misty evening, slightly muddy estate car driving through the damp glistening streets of Hoyland. Blue flashing lights, brief siren. Slightly muddy estate car pulls over.
"Routine stop sir. May I ask the purpose of your journey?"
"Evening officer, I've just picked up a package for someone."
"Really sir? A package you say. And what would that be?"
"I don't know officer, I was too polite to ask."
"Ahhhh....I see....and who would that be for?"
"I've never actually met him, but he goes by the name of The Pitsford Pirate."
"Pirate, you say?"
"Errr...yes officer...an unfortunate name under the circumstances...I know him off the internet. I've purchased some top quality lines from him in the past."
"Lines eh....wouldn't be the ones that make you high, would they?"
"Well it depends what you want, he supplies lines that keep you high, or sink at different rates. Are those handcuffs really necessary?"
Man in hat with various flies is led towards the white car arguing desperately as the mist closes in.
