Back in The Mitre, the eccentric tales keep coming. Have you heard the one about the wallabies that roam the island? They escaped from the wildlife park a few years ago, apparently, and have proved impossible to catch. You can, they say, spot all over the place. Did you know you can still shoot a Scotsman on sight if he runs towards you on a beach and is waring a kilt? In the bygone days they were known as the Hairy Scary Sissy ‘We always welcome the come-overs,’ a local whispers to me. ‘Though you have to get used to the fact that things are different around here. Not at all like where you come from.’
