Mik's Umbrella

Mik's umbrella has been kidnapped by the U.L.A. (Umbrella Liberation Army), returned and then re-taken. He was so concerned that he got the coach to turn around and go back to the smelly vest quarry to leave a message for the following coach to keep a look out for it as he thought he had left it behind. Then another ransom note was read out. Followed by newsflashes.

We have a lot of look alikes in this group. A Phil Collins lookalike, a Ronnie O'Sullivan (whoever that is). I believe there is a Mike Gatting, although not being familiar with cricket, I can't spot him. There is someone who looks a bit like a small version of Robbie Coltrane and there is Chris, a 4th generation baker from Solihull, who looks so much like the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, that on the first day I spoke to him, convinced that I knew him from somewhere. I felt a bit of a dork when he kindly pointed out that he had been told that he resembled Tony Blair and this might be why I thought I knew him. I wonder if I would walk up to Tony Blair himself, now I have met Chris, convinced that I knew him? Knowing me, I probably would. Throughout the week, our Tony Blair did a jolly good job of mediating on behalf of those of us who thought the umbrella should be re-united with its owner.
