Having arrived in
Nottingham to help with last minute preparations for the wedding I was trusted
with three jobs: (a) buy a bag of sand to provide a safe repository for spent
sparklers; (b) pick up the wedding dress (paying the balance due) and deliver it
to my daughter with no sand attached; (c) extract the appropriate (rounded)
amount from each of forty friends and relations of the betrothed couple already
gathered in town for a night-before meal at the Ask Italian restaurant, and
with the collected cash settle the £800 food bill, without upsetting, offending
or committing fraud against any of them.
