It was the night that Seething celebrated. The
night that all the freshwater sardine crews, talcum miners, pasty makers and members of all other guilds would gather to celebrate the start of a new season.
The party was in full swing but it was
clear that this year there was a problem. A queue had formed in front of the
one public convenience and it was not moving forward. As the concern began to
spread the leader of the village stepped to the front of the queue and knocked
on the toilet door.
“Are you alright?” she asked
“No, I’m stuck,” shouted the desperate
voice from inside.
She recognised the voice immediately and
turned using a gesture of her hands to quieten the crowd.
“There’s no need to panic,” she announced. “It’s
just a miner in convenience.”
Happy New Year wherever you are and here's to a wonderful 2014 as the Spirit of Seething continues to grow.
