Nyetimber Man Misses Thursday Evening Due To Double Shift - Report By Reg Costello
Thursday night regulars were left shocked and saddened after popular attendee Terence Hicks failed to join his friends after a drink fuelled extravaganza the previous day. Mr Hicks, 70 odd, of Saxon, Dutch and German descent went on a charabanc trip to Winchester partaking refreshment in various pubs and hostelry’s before repairing to the Inglenook with the intent of no more than a supper of cold mutton and a flagon of mead. This, however, proved not to be the case as the ambience combined with excellent company extended the evening way beyond his capabilities. At one stage Mr Hicks confided in the editor stating that he was even prepared to delay a dental appointment in order to put in a Thursday night shift. The editor was pained to receive a telegram at 19:14 from Mr Hicks explaining he would be absent owing to the fact that he was in “a terrible condition".
