The Two Brewers in Olney - The one with the bacon sandwiches

There have been numerous occasion when New Years Eve has been in Olney. Some events regarding this time of year and this particular town are best left un-said, aren't they James? However, a one particular year springs to mind when discussing this topic. After a heavy night of partying at the Two Brewers, as we were about to leave, Andy was no-where to be found. Upon searching for the lost reveller, I came across him on the ground floor of the pub, where he instructed me that the two of us were going to play a 'back-to-back' set on a well known local mobile disc-jockeys' equipment to finish the party for the whole pub. After being dragged upstairs, I had convinced the budding young DJ not to attempt to take a spin, but to get his coat as we were all leaving. Upon arriving at Andys house, the kind host offered to cook us bacon sandwiches. 'How kind and thoughtful' thought we. Unfortunately, upon passing Andy in the kitchen I noticed, as he tended so carefully to the grill pan, that he had neglected to include bacon in his grand scheme!

As ever, age as well as units of alcohol then and now, can make the story somewhat distorted, please feel free to embellish! And to keep a tradition . . . . . . 'the rest is a little fuzzy' . . .

PS

The next day, Andy told his mum he had a 'stomach bug' which I don't think she believed!
