Stenton nearly killed Langford but as a monastery was carved into the mountain they were overflying it, seemed disrespectful.
'Please hand over the microfilm. I'll stand you a brandy.'
'I no longer drink.'
'Sounds like a monk.'
'Might pop down there and apply. Get away from all this.'
'All this is all there is.'
'Not down there it isn't.'
'That makes no sense.'
'My Aunt Hilda used to say anything you want to makes sense . long as you don't overthink it.'
'Works for me. Let's go.' Fender acceded, and suddenly best friends, they parachuted down to their new life.

    Is it mere coincidence that all these surnames are old cricketers? I know nothing about the sport but I was searching the names and found Stenton, Langford and Fender were all names of cricketers.

    Pure coincidence. ;-) Only time I ever watched cricket was when Peter Davison was playing it on Doctor Who ;-)

    Wow, that is a strange coincidence. Of course, I just read a story in an old magazine from the 60's where Sean Connery was stopped for speeding in London and the officer who wrote the ticket was named James Bond. I guess if that's possible anything is possible.

    My most memorable day at a cricket match was at Lords. I was taking clients for a day out. Lord knows who was playing whom... now that would be too big a memory Test.
    Interesting drabble, Jamie, which will need a reread or two...
