'never did bother to understand Woke'
So to my tale:
Nick & myself were dining one night in another favorite haunt, The Bleeding Heart Yard, our usual table
on a raised dais next to the fire exit, with a view of most of the restaurant.
On the 2nd bottle of wine, I spotted Piers sitting opposite a woman in tears, not his missis.
I told Nick, I could see his mind 'ticking-over. Piers had slandered him, I could see Nick was thinking of giving him a slap!
Now, Nick had sued The Mirror about Biggsy and won..
I was saying chill out, we'll contact our pal 'Ask Jo & The Mirror.' (She took over after The Old Codgers)
I'm not saying we were a little inebriated, blowing our kisses to the staff, Nick proceeded to grab Piers's shoulders,
as we passed their table upon leaving.
Piers' face ? 'a picture of sheer horror the girls eye make running all down her cheeks.
Nick just smiled saying 'really pleased to see you Piers"nodding at his companion.
Next day we called Jo, "Oh! "she's Marina his 'bit of spare, has a flat in Clerkenwell".
Piers left his family then married Marina...and that's Piers the Prat...
