Guppy enters the bar, followed by his young son Alex. The toddler looks rather content, and is singing a song that sounds like an advert for pickles. Guppy looks somewhat less content, having just forked out several hundred pounds to repair the radiator in his living room.
He also ended up having to fend off a nosy journalist from the Holby Evening Post, who got tipped off by the fire brigade and has been pestering him all day yesterday.
He goes straight to the notice board and puts up a sign.
'Would the patron who has lost a pair of handcuffs please see Guppy Sandhu.'
He then sits down nearby, gets Alex settled playing with some bricks, and peeps tentatively through the Holby Evening Post until he finds the article. He groans; the reporter must have caught up with his mother-in-law...
'Toddler "arrests" Granny
Emergency services were called on Sunday night to the rescue of a woman handcuffed to a radiator by her two-year-old grandson.
It took firefighters an hour to free Carol Osbourne, 60, after her ankle became trapped. On questioning, wannabe cop Alex denied having the key, and claimed to have arrested her for kissing his face and moving the sofa. Alex, who has Asperger Syndrome, refused to disclose where he had obtained the handcuffs. The family are said to be baffled as to how he came to possess them.
Mrs Osbourne said that she would not be babysitting again.
A spokesperson from the Holby Fire Brigade stated that handcuffs are not toys.'
Well that could have been worse.
Guppy peers down at Alex, who is lining up his bricks contentedly.
"Alex, can you tell me where you got the handcuffs?"
"No."
