The MAGIC Club is the source of this next snippet. This time, volunteer David, gets locked in the toilet...'Help, let me out...help, I'm locked in, help...' The Bold Jim, head honcho volunteer, rushes to the rescue and in the absence of a screwdriver uses sharp knife to swivel the lock. Lots of conferring between David and Jim, lots of handle pulling, twisting and turning but no release for David. By this time they're beginning to panic and Frances decides to intervene. One twist of the knife and the door opens...
Q. How many PEP volunteers does it take to unlock a door?
A. None, just leave it to the staff!
The tale provokes a lot of laughter in the office when David recounts it next day and another story: about the time when Mandy was at a funeral and all the way through the service the assembled mourners can hear tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...confused looks, maybe it's not a dead body in that coffin after all, then a wee plaintive cry, 'Can someone unlock the toilet door please? I'm locked in!'
