One visitor, Mr Ali Akbar Achmed said, "We found it all rather bemusing as surely this gentleman is aware we prefer baggy pants & flowing gowns as our chosen attire & a rather fetching black potato sack effect for our wives ! Maybe if it was in black we would consider it".
On being escorted back to his secure lodgings by two rather burly chaps in white coats, Mr Jaysay was heard to comment "These kids today, no idea of fashion, I was an icon in my day I'll have you know!" as he was bundled into the back of the waiting ambulance.
There how about that ? reckon I'd be quite a good News Hack

No I won't, but I thought of it as more of a sideline really, making up amazing stories & flogging them to the papers, you know a bit of freelancing & all that, I mean the "Sun" & "Star" would probably take my arm off for these, sensational headlines
