I thought I may share a little tale that happened a few years ago.
The organisation I was working for, decided in their wisdom to send me to Glasgow to attend a training seminar having avoided any form of training like the plague.
Anyway all the delegates bar my self were Scots and Irish a few chaps that the company had flown from Ireland.
Unsurprisingly the subject of Whiskey raised its head and there was heated debate between the merits of Irish v Scottish.
To settle the debate, a bar in Glasgow was visited and starting from the left of the top shelf each offering was sampled.
I retired at 2.00 am in the morning slightly worse for wear and left them to it.
The following morning we were supposed to commence the second day of our training at 9.00 am ...at which point yours truly was the only show.
About 9.20 the Scots showed up half of whom were still out of their tree !!and not a pretty site. I seriously never saw the Irish lads again apparently they just carried on ad infinitum.
The training was abandoned, and all hell broke loose, the hosts sending bills for flights ,accomodation etc to anyone they thought might cough up.
Interestingly the company from that moment on and to my knowledge still do,decided that all future seminars would be conducted in Berkshire !!!!
On this occasion I covered my ass, Tales of my downfall, £500 fines and a night club in Benidorm I may share at another time.
