Ha ha a quote from the article-
"We climbed the old spiral staircase to the theatre, scene of many a PoW production (they involved a disturbing amount of cross-dressing)" , that doesn't surpise me seeing as the officer POW's were mostly typical gay/bisexual English public schoolboys..
I can think of some places I've escaped from over the years, mostly half-baked Jobcentre training schemes that bored me rigid, I managed to edge out the door of an IT training course once and was halfway down the stairs before the tutor came running after me asking "where are you going?".
"Oh" I replied "I'm just looking for the toilet"
"You've missed it" he said, "come back up and i'll show you where it is"
So I went in, locked myself in a cubicle and waited a decent interval to make sure he'd p*ssed off, then quietly slipped out to make good my escape and made a successful home run.
Next week the Jobcentre pulled me up about it but I managed to talk my way out of having my dole stopped by saying I'd had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea which was true in a way because all that IT crap was giving me a pain in the ass..
