Gunner's Dilemma

Barry Druker recalled a story which he told to John Child at a reunion back in 1997, which John has just recalled.

 

Barry and a number of others were caught drinking in The Romany.  I think this put Gunner in a bit of a dilemma because if this got into the press it would show that the school was badly disciplined.  Anyway Gunner drew up a statement which he told them to sign.  It said something to the effect that in exchange for the school not notifying the police or their parents they would never do it again and if they did they would be in for a thrashing and that they would be reported to the police.  Apparently they had to sign over a postage stamp to make the document legal.  Barry read through the statement and said to Gunner that he would have to check the legality of this out with his solicitor. 

His thrashing was therefore quickly brought forward!
