Campsite Karma
Last year, when I used to work on a campsite for the Summer (excellent pay and you get to watch all the talent while "working"), they were a bit short for the night shift, so I volunteered to do it.

It was one of those long Summer nights when the sky never gets that dark, and it was warm too. At around 3am I heard a car pulling up at the main gate (which is closed to traffic after 11pm), so I went down there to investigate.

There were three 20-something males and a stupid boy-racer car making a lot of noise, talking loudly and playing their music quite loud. I walked up and asked them what they were doing, the "leader" said that they had just arrived and were wanting to stay the night.

I don't think so.

So I asked them to pack up and head off, as they weren't getting onto the site at 3am. They had told me that they weren't planning on sneaking onto the site, but they had already thrown their rucksacks over the hedge. No problem, I thought. I went round and retrieved them and threw them back over the hedge.

I went back to the gate to make sure they left. Which they did, after about ten minutes. It was not long after they left, that I realised there was something in the car park near where their car had been. So I went to take a look.

It seems that my noisy visitors had forgotten something to help them sleep. A full bottle of Jack Daniels and a 2 litre bottle of Coke. I took them both back to the office, with all intentions of handing them over to the boss in the morning.

The only thing I handed over was a note of the vehicle's registration number, so they couldn't book in if they tried. The coke was finished over the course of a few days at work and the Jack Daniels remains unopened in my kitchen cupboard. I don't drink it and no one I know does either.

You know NOONE who drinks?

Is your campsite in Sudan or something?

he said "I don't drink _it_". As in he doesn't drink Jack.

Though I'd have thought not knowing ANYONE who drinks it is pretty rare, isn't it?!

Best offers
It must be pretty rare. I've asked a few people if they drink it, and they don't. I was planning on putting it on eBay or something, but they don't allow that sort of thing.

Anyone who wants to make me an offer on it can message me.

Oh, yeah.
Silly me. I did think it a bit implausible.
