True or False, Tales.

German Wedding

While backpacking through Germany as a young whipper snapper, I was getting low on funds. A pub owner offered me a job which was to help at a pre-wedding party called a Polterabend. I helped set up the tables and outdoor bar and much to my surprise later on in the evening, everyone started started smashing plates. Absolute mess everywhere so when the crowd dwindled I grabbed a broom and started sweeping it up. Next thing, the groom’s mum is tearing strips off me in German. Couldn’t understand a word, but got the gist, I was out the door, Auf Wiedersehen Craig!! Turns out its an old tradition for the bride and groom to clean it up together to prove they could cope with married life. Only job I’ve ever been sacked from for being too helpful.

An unpleasant experience

Before I was married in my younger days I helped restrain a gang member while 2 other men pulled out several of his teeth.
