This Easter bank holiday Ant and I found ourselves locked in Tetbury Chruch in the Cotswold's. It could have been rather tragic... but fortunately we escaped without too much pain. Even so it amuses me...
Whilst in Tetbury we decided to look inside the lovely Georgian church. It really is pretty. At the back of the church there was a small stand selling postcards and books and such. It was unmanned - there was an honesty box. Whilst looking round the stall a slightly dodgy looking man came into the church and proceeded to ask us if we had managed to "nick anything". Wasn't quite sure how to respond to that one. Obviously steeling from churches is a major past time of mine.
Anyway we sort of wandered off, and the bloke left the building (offended by our lack of thieving perhaps?!). On his way out he bolted the door locked from the outside. The bolt was at the top of the door, so it couldn't be done accidentally.
Hmm so there we are locked in a strange church... fortunately when we went over to the windows we saw some people tending a grave, and so then managed to open the window and shout for help... all was well... even so I did wonder how long we could have been left in there if no one was about... but I suppose we could have summonsed help with a mobile phone or something?!
