I have a friend who lives in a small community in Yorkshire. One day he and his family were expecting a visit from the local vicar.
His child had put her hamster in one of those Perspex balls so it could run around the living room. The doorbell went and in came the happy-go-lucky vicar full of the joys of life.
He walked into the living room and with a spring in his step - thwack! – kicked the Perspex ball across the living room floor towards the sofa. ‘Haven’t lost my touch then!’ he said.
My friend, his wife and their child could only look on in horror.
Whilst they were all sat down on the sofa drinking tea and eating biscuits you could just see, out the corner of your eyes, the Perspex ball sneaking out the room to safety.
