Alas, the ice just served as an appetiser. Says W, nervously, counting his money:
"From his appetite I'd say he eats regularly - once a year."
"What's your name son?" they ask, wondering how to pay for their own lunch.
Jimmy Clithero points to the nearest poster. And they realise that when they took Jimmy to lunch, Jimmy took them for a ride…
