John O. McIlvenna
"It's got to be here somewhere.. it has to be here. It isn't though - but it really must be!"
The Story
John was starting a new job in London. It was his first evening there and he had a dinner engagement with his new boss. Afterwards, he decided to go for a short walk before going to bed. He didn't know the area and it wasn't too long before he got lost in the streets. It was well after 11pm. Some street lights were beginning to switch off. He found a public phone box where a drunk manfully tried to help him to phone his boss. Needless to say that didn't work out too well. John started to get quite worried at that point. How could he possibly be lost? He began to think about sleeping in a doorway. What on earth would his new boss think of him. Would he consider him to be the stereotype "thick paddy"?
