An interesting story. Clearly, the man was beating a hasty retreat ...
hopefully he had
second thoughts about his ungracious behavior.

BTW, you said "I suspect that he had a wallet in his pocket - any money
in it was
ruined." Does your local currency dissolve in water? That doesn't seem
like a good
idea, especially given your damp climate. In the States we run old bills
through the
washing machine to make them look new again! I hope the Republicans don't
realize the
fiscal benefits of dissolving money.


Actually, we have had tougher new notes here for a few years. They are
probably waterproof. The keeper's clothes would have need cleaning. He
should have been offered something.
