Bog Standard
My achievement in Westminster
getting 25 people through the turnstile
in the Public Lavatories,
Eager constituents on a trip to
Parliament Historical Houses
and their prime directive
was to empty their bladder..
25 gratefull women..and one man
all for 50 pence..
I couldn't be happier

Pauline, thank you for sharing this piece it has made one of my favourite memories come flooding back. In 97 when Labour got in I was still a party member and I was invited to afternoon tea at the houses of parliament I hatched a dastardly plan. I had just bought a suit on ebay and when it arrived I knew that I was drunk when I bought it. It made me look like the ultimate spiv so I wore it . part 1 of dastardly plot. When, eventually, someone asked why I had joined the party I got to say "I want to join the pub pool team and I want to improve my spin ". Part 2 achieved. The big one. I took my still punk self off to the poshest loos I've ever seen, sat in one of the 2 stalls and started to roll a spliff. I felt so naughty . Then a couple of party politicos came in, they both went into the other stall and started to knock out a couple of lines. Naughtiness spoilt but a great memory made and thanks again Pauline for bringing it so clearly back.

Nigel. It was a fab trip on Monday.. it's shutting down for refurbishment, (ten years).. so I grabbed the chance... Spliff ha ha.. Never had the opportunity although a dodgy milkshake once keeps me on the straight n narrow . It was interesting..AND intimidating..
