Punch Served At Vicar's Tea Party
You'd expect punch to be served at the Vicar's tea party, but not when it comes with a whallop... in the form of a punch to the head, and the fruity kind as a chaser.
Vicar, Rev Ann Douglas was attending her farewell tea party in Woodley, Berkshire. Her final sermon had included a few parting shots about the bullying and intimidation she'd experienced while vicar. One parishioner blamed Mr Honour, the vicar who replaced her.
The London Times reports - As about 100 guests enjoyed tea and sandwiches, the unnamed man landed several thumps on Mr Honour's head. A guest said: "It was such a shock - you don't expect that at a vicar's tea party.
After the reverend was hit all hell broke loose. One old lady started grappling the other man's face and told him off."
Another guest said: "One minute it was very peaceful, the next he had a drink thrown over him and was punched in the face a few times."
This sounds like a scene from a British TV comedy series...
Mrs Bucket (sorry, Bouquet) of Keeping Up Appearances fame, would definitely not approve... hardly proper etiquette for a vicar's tea party.
The Independent reports that "the fracas could have been a scene out of Father Ted". Anyone who is a fan of the irascible Father Ted and his sidekick, Dougal, will be having an "Aha" moment right now.
Ah the memories... I'm off to get a nice cup of tea (forget the punch), and get out my old Father Ted DVD's. For some reason I'm imagining a tea party with Father Ted, Basil Fawlty and Hyacinth Bucket as guests. Now that would be an interesting tea party.
Do you have an ODDI-TEA to share? I'd love to hear your comments
