Broken down motorists and no booze

[Justwanttosayplease]

Cut to the chase. Live remotely on a hill and the drive runs down to the main road, which is starting to clog up due to an awesome snow storm and we are a long way either direction to neighboring towns. The fires are lit (we have two, not a stealth boast just frickin cold) and the house looks warm and inviting from the road. Have had stranded motorists before and put them up for the night. Big problem - no booze.

What can we do?

@PositivelyPERF only if it's Retsina!

Splendid. Now, do you have Pom Bears?

No, we have also run out. But we are a Pom Bear household. We have Marmite, but it is kept in the outhouse. We have yet to make up our mind about it.

I have to go soon the two guests are in the drawing room, by the fire, and I need to find out who they are. I will come back.

@Draylon should we turn up and create a frozen Work of art? Like crop circles but with ice?

I'm so stressed about voluntary ice-sculpture etiquette here.

and @Justwanttosayplease

Really with the Marmite?

I'm so conflicted right now...

Was @justwanttosay killed in the drawing room by poison? Candlestick? Dagger? revolver or rope?

We have Marmite, but it is kept in the outhouse. best place for it. shudder 🤢

If they suddenly burst into song RUN!!! Or put your sussies on, your call.

I didn’t think I was that well prepared for the red warning but now I realise I have all the essentials: gin, whisky, bourbon, vodka, sloe gin and some weird green stuff from Majorca that looks like fairy liquid.

@Draylon I think I might love you a little bit...

Awwww@Blackteadrinker77 I want to have a murder mystery evening at @Justwanttosayplease's now.

Baggsy I'm miss Scarlet!!!!

Blimey! Can you imagine what it would be like if we all lived in the same village? We’d be praying to get snowed in. 🍷 🍸🥂🍹🍾🥃🍻🍺🤪

I’ve got next year’s Christmas pudding stashed away in the Christmas cupboard. It’s got quite a lot of Cognac in it.

They are a man and a woman. Professional I would say and probably civil service. He is about 25, she is about 45. She is his boss. She is dressed for the weather, he is not. He has a scarf, but no coat.

They are both sat down with cups of tea to warm them.

He has no socks on. I can see bare flesh between the bottom of his trousers and his shoes.

I am concerned by this.

@PositivelyPERF I thought you were a good person, but after this marmite-shaming nonsense I think I may have to report you.

Toilet duck?

Ooh ooh, and half a bottle of mulled wine we never finished!

@Justwanttosayplease

Seriously log it with 101. NOW.

Why is he wearing no socks?

I do not want the police involved gingergenius this is my house.

I want to keep it this way. What goes on here is just between you and I.

Understood?

Because he took them off and stashed the drugs in his socks, in the boot. Who goes out in shoes and no socks in this weather? Or tights and ballet flats?

Baggsy I'm miss Scarlet

I'll be Mrs White

I'm only coming though if @justwanttosayplease gets as well stocked as @cruncymint

They were travelling to Cheltenham.

Why?

@PositivelyPERF I thought you were a good person, but after this marmite-shaming nonsense I think I may have to report you I’m marmite critical. It’s neither a jam or peanut butter. It’s spread confused and shouldn’t try to impose its taste on peanut butter spreaders.
