Chronicles Part VII 1979-83 (1) - correction

From http://renshawschronicles.blogspot.com/

Jo corrected my whisky story yesterday:


"Your memory of the whisky story is wrong. The problem arose when we arrived in Edinburgh and they were unpacking.
The interesting part of the tale comes at the end. We had brought an old swing up from Broxbourne which was rusted solid- couldn't get it dismantled. 
The removal men put it on the drive at the front of the house and suggested I got WD40 and dismantled the swing so's it could be taken to the back garden through the garage in bits.
After they were given the whisky, the team leader suggested to the lads that they take the swing - as it was - up onto the garage roof and carry it across, lowering it into the garden on the other side. 
They jumped to it and that's exactly what they did! Was their change of heart due to the whisky? I think so."

So there you have it - for the record - straight from the horse's mouth.
