A STORY, FIB or FABLE 4 'X'mas.
Many moons ago, an 'X' mas Pub QuiZ was held at The Chequers. This is situate in the ancient Essex Blackwater village of Goldhanger.
Two of the teams were called St Nicks. 'A' was from Tolleshunt Major, and 'B' was Bambers at T...Darcy.
The 1st question was- ' Who dreamt up the slogan - Beans Means HeinZ ?' No, it wasn't a German,- RALPH knew- It was indeed F.O. KITE, i.e. H.H. Judge Maurice DRAKE, in 1967 !!
Next question:- Name a social operative who tells stories, and is a crook? 'A' answered this correctly - an accountANT !
Now, the cruncher - name Santa's Reindeer? Rudolph said 'A'. wrong said Jeremy, he was only brought in by Psyops, because of Hess in the War! There were originally 8 :- DASHER (after Mick the Miller), DANCER ( CYD cHARRISe), PRANCER (After Hercules -Stan's steed), VIXEN (Basil Brush's mate) COMET{One of Bill Hailey's!), CUPID (Eros- not stupid) DONNER or Dunder, and, last but not least, BLITzEN - i.e. THUNDER & LIGHTNING!! -- BOOM-boom! Jeremy got around of abuse for his PAYNES, and one of her Luncheon Vouchers. FINGERS X ed for Jerrers soon, and WOT NO CHAD? Grahame.
