Myles Away From Dublin
“If it’s the truth, why should I be shy of telling it. The recital alone gives some relief, and might also be a sort of a warning to other people who have it in for me.
I feel the latest piece of victimisation takes some beating. For once, I will be brief about it, if only the torture was very lengthy.
One morning I got a telephone call from a television company in London. I do not disclose which company. Would I be good enough to sit for a television interview? The date suggested was a ...Saturday and the man speaking said that absolute quiet was essential, the place he wanted to do it in (a pub) would have to be closed.
I said certainly, though I made no comment about the pub. I knew that Irish pubs everywhere ‘make’ the week on Friday and Saturday, when the wage-earner drinks the wages. I did, however, as a sort of a joke ask certain proprietors if they would be good enough to close on this Saturday for a few hours, and that the television firm would pay handsome compensation.MoreLess
