Suddely out of nowhere the startled voice of an old sea dog who had until now sat quietly in a smokey (other) corner of the pub bellowed out.

 

"Not COKE I tell you (and it's all going to pot now) ..... but aye Rum the devil's brew"

 

"I seen the likes of this befor nows and be wary, BE VERY WARY, It was one dark October night, the air was cold and the.."

dead, but it wasn't Elvis it was 'Lightening Clogger' the fastest clog dancer in Oswaldtwistle, sweeping the old sea dog up in his arms, he quickly realised his mistake and dropped him again (great clog dancer but awfully short sited) and swept Rachael up and in a flash made a lightening clog dance through the doorway

Vincent was fuming. He chased after the lightening clogger and caught up with him near to Farmer Flocker's parsnip field. He bashed him over his head with the sailor's wooden leg, which he had snatched on his way out of the pub. As the clogger buckled at the knees he dropped Rachael to the ground. She gave out a long low moan then opened her eyes. She was not dead after all. Just fainted.

she gazed into Vincent's eyes adoringly and whispered "Bruce my hero" the knock on her head had given her amnesia and she thought Vincent was Bruce the barman her secret lover, Vincent who had spotted farmer Flocker coming across the field with his trusty hound 'Wolfie'

Wolfie stopped, sniffed around then raised his back leg and did what hounds do do when they raise their back leg. Unfortunately he did it up Farmer Flocker's leg and he was't best pleased about it. He gave wolfie a swift boot up his tail end and the hound howled like the devil himself was coming.

"Scurvy ol' landlubber! I'll have ye flogged and locked in the brig for that...!" Then turning and waving his fist at Farmer Flocker, added, "You see if I dont!"

He then began hopping back towards the group again, shouting to them, "And give me back me wooden leg...! You barrel full of theivin rogues"!

Apologetically, Vincent picked up the wooden leg, which was lying on the ground, and handed it to the old sailor. The old sailor snatched it from Vincent and screwed it back into place before turning and, with some muttering to himself, proceded back down the road, step, plonk, step, plonk, step, plonk....

"Well", said Rachael to Vincent, "I don't fancy going back to the pub now".

"Tell you what", said Farmer Flocker, " I do have a nice drop o' strong cider back up at th'old 'ouse, why don't pair o'you come and sample some?"

"That would be nice", replied Vincent with a broad grin, "very kind of you to offer".

So off the three of them set to the farmhouse, leaving the lightnening clogger lying moaning on the ground, Farmer Flocker whistling for Wolfie to come back.
