so I rang Out of the Frying Pan, a greasy spoon delivery service in Clapham. I ordered 200 beef patties on bread, to be sent immediately to Pompous Our Lord of Holy Fathers, Bugle Rd, London.
Cash on delivery..all 700 quid..from my esteemed colleague and friend, Victor Cross, Parson extraordinaire. Three hours 1 minute later, a furniture van turned up at the parson' s church.
It was now 8pm and no one seemed to be around.
Fred Fallacious, 43, a driver from Surbiton, knocked, no reply.
Eventually he got hold of Victor's wife, Petunia, an ex administrator for a team of bucket manufacturers in Shoreditch,who met the parson while dreaming about marigolds in a Starbucks in Salop.
''Ere brav, oive a tan a bladdy beef burgers ere an I wanssum offa me ands,ya get me? Get daan ere naa..'
Trusting in the beneficence of the Lord, Parson Victor felt it would be gratis, a gift from God.
' Awfully kind of you, I'll be there in 5..toodle oo', and at that, the driver just tipped the burgers onto the porch,stood laughing, and awaited our dear man of the Lord to grace us..
