Warm greetings foxtrot friends, first things first I must extend my warmest thanks and heartfelt appreciation for all of you have have turned up in your scores to support me in my "Audience with Lester Sheepshanks" live bonanza over the last week!!!
We kicked off in good old rainy Skegness last Wednesday night and opened to a warm and friendly audience, the audatorium was slightly only half full but I put that down to the current, crippling credit crunch gripping the whole nation rather than any reflection on my loyal fans part.
In hindsight the show has been a blistering success and after a wonderful evening in Preston on Friday the "Preston Evening Post" heralded the show as "huge hit!!" and a "must see experience for all lovers of ballroom...."
With a mere two weeks on the road left I must admit folks that I have been missing my home comforts somewhat, although we have stayed in some rather comfy, homely 3 star establishments on the road I can't wait to get back to the groaning pork-packed larder in my 5 bedroom mock tudor manison in Barrow to spend some quality reflective time basking with dear old late Mater' in the regal sanctuary of her shrine!! yes we have devoured some first rate pork-based meals on our travels (especially the full English breakfast at the "Regency Guesthouse" in Morecambe - thanks again Rita yer game old beauty!!) but nothing beats a trip down to my favourite restaraunt "The Wexberry Crest" in Barrow in Furness for a full £20 all in pork carvery!!!! (including the finest roast pork this side of the North West of England, delicious apple sauce, delectable prime pork sausages, etc, etc! - you simply must try it!!
Finally folks as I mentioned above the pesky credit crunch is even affecting ol' Les too you know, why only last month on my monthly whistlestop trip down to London to the Harrods meat section I had to forego my usual £24.00 organic hand reared "Cheswick Farm" prime pigs trotters for Harrods own brand (at a mere £7.00 a trotter I tell you!!!)
Honsestly folks my heart goes out to you all poor fookers' out there and so I generously extend the kindly withered porky hand of Sheepsy by offering a luxury "Pork hamper" courtesy of Corbetts Master pork butchers of Barrow to the lucky person who answers this question....
In 1989 I underwent my first very painful (but also memorable) bout of emergency hemorrhoid surgery for my notorious troublesome grapes, where did I spend the following 2 weeks recouperating?
A - Blackpool
B - Skegness
C - The Costa Del Sol
D - Eastbourne
The first correct answer pulled out of my "Lucky" tombola snaffles the hamper!
Good luck dance lovers and till next time abide by the sacred laws of Ballroom!!!!!!!!!
