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?

But Gun Martini? No.

Just no.

@WorriedAndTired

I need to rethink my emergency travel plans.

Monoploy cards against humanity for me . Got any mouthwash or desert wine?

They are sleeping in a single room, with a double bed.

I just made it up for them. They have been shopping also. They are from HMRC I sussed. They also have brandy offered around, and obviously are having a relationship, out of office.

Not GCHQ, but damn good guess.

As soon as I read Cheltenham, I thought GCHQ...

And no socks!! The horror!

If they're telling you HMRC, then they really are from GCHQ!

Oh, you're going to have to enquire further, an office affair between a boss and a subordinate is quite, um, awkward at the very lease, if not strongly discouraged by the organisation. Does she have an indent on her finger where she has removed her wedding ring?

M'Lady, I have been stranded in one of your finest rehabilitation establishments since Thursday due to inclement weather and it seems my prison officer colleagues servants cannot dig my chariot out of the car park until tomorrow morning. I hear you have a spare room? Kindly send an off road vehicle for me. I shall fill the boot with gin at the nearest off license.

Looks like sex is in order tonight. Might not be me, just trimming my pubes in case.

In case, the beds too big. It's a water bed you know.

Opens door quietly.......OP are you alive??? Did the water bed burst and provide you with more ice for the guests......did someone with a booze delivery van join you all?

Bloody hell! What a mess! What on earth has happened here????

iklboo 🤣 Could you pass the coffee and painkillers over to me please. I think OP is still sleeping under the patio where the weird visitors buried her. I had lots of peanuts with my red wine, so you might be best keeping the hazmat suit on. ☺️

Did they wake up sea sick?

Are all British people as obsessed with alcohol as mumsnetters are?

British? How very dare you!

British? How very dare you! bleeden outrageous, wasn’t it! 😁

What's wrong with tea/coffee/soup? Do you want drunken strangers in your house? They are probably all lovely people who will be really grateful but I have a dear friend who turns into Genghis Khan when he's had a drink!

@Katherine2626 Tea and coffee wouldn't get them in the mood and the OP has trimmed her lady bush in anticipation.

I guess you didn't read the thread?

Love it, would def break down near you if I had the chance. Cup of tea after being stranded would just be miserable! I like your thoughts, and well done for taking in the stranded!

Not just your regular stranded, stranded spies having an affair! You’ve hit the jackpot OP!

@ScabbyHorse, you just made me very nostalgic for my misspent youth and sounds like an excellent idea.

Well that was a cliffhanger!
