Hmm, put me down for a no-show too.
Can't get the time off, no good enough behaviour
And also can't wear the false beard 'cos the real one plays 'avoc with the spirit glue. Tweedy sports jacket* doesn't fit anymore and the brogues are at the blacksmith being re-segged, won't be ready 'til the Wednesday morning...
*corduroy was banned as a health hazard under EU H&S Directive 145/9b/thingy summat last year wasn't it? (Should have been)
But I will wear my oldest wooly sweater in honour of the occasion.
