Interviews with PC Plod.
As Olive - of course I was in the Rotunda, I was their waitress and a right demanding lot they were too. Cyanide? No, I didn’t put cyanide in her tea. Where would I get cyanide from? No…ok, I sneezed into one of the cups out of spite but that didn’t work out. These people mean nothing to me, just guests, here today and gone tomorrow.
As Claude - yes, I was there, sat opposite actually. First thing I noticed was when she was sick all over someone, turned purple and fell to the ground. No, not a very nice woman but a good money spinner as she changed her will so often.
As Minnie - I was leaving to work to for Lady Susan, so had no reason to kill her but at the time was on the prom stuffing those awful shorts into a bin!
Blanche was a dear friend of mine - I had no reason to harm her. I know that she had her head turned by that Milton chappie - who I actually quite like now. He drinks Magners you know? Blanche was sick all over me before she died - ruined my inside out dress. Anyone of us could have got into the kitchen at Madlands and put poison into one of her two scones. I didn’t eat any of mine - couldn’t take the risk - er, what I mean is I don’t like scones…
As Ali - happy birthday Kay, your holiday sounds lovely and a wonderful surprise too
As Archie -" poor milady, who’d do such a thing? I was outside with the motor, as chauffeur that’s my place you see…witnesses? Well to be honest ask anyone who walked past the car park, there aren’t that many chauffeurs of silver and black Rollers with two great huge hairy camels for company parked outside a dive like this…"
Blanche? Dead? When did this happen? I spent all yesterday afternoon in my room trying to decide what to wear. Any one with me? No of course not! What sort of woman do you think I am?!
Happy Birthday Kay! Your mystery trip may not have been to Morecambe, but you did sort of end up joining us via a murder mystery?! Glad you had a good time.
We accidentally made a logging lorry sink into a ditch today. We met it on a narrow road. We pulled in, gingerly onto the verge and he drove onto the other verge. And got stuck! Lorry started sinking. When we left, having ascertained there was nothing we could do to help - he was adamant he could sort it himself- the lorry was at 45° to the road! I hope he’s not still there!
I had a good time with Blanche and had no reason to poison her. Must say, she could be pretty harsh on her family, but what could I do about it? Blanche’s’ past? All I know is that she was madly in love once and was jilted and the guy married someone else.
Happy Birthday Kay !! Sounds like you had a fabulous time. Belated birthday cake in the shed along with buckets of glitterberry juice and balloons on all the benches woo hoo!!
Well, well, well, just learned that the paper Blanche was holding onto contained details of her partnership with Sheik Yafist. She seemingly invested in the oil business…Blanche is/was now one of the richest women in the world…how fortunate for us all…
Couldn’t believe the spectacle she made of herself purple face, being sick, good job she dropped dead otherwise she would never be able to hold her head up high again, incredibly distasteful…
The Plods are plodding about asking lots of questions, had some questions of my own are The Plods somehow in cohoots with Sheik Yafist? They came charging into the Rotunda bareback riding camels???
Oh my the Plods and Miss Sparkle are talking again, she always manages to get her nose into everything, such a busybody.
What’s that??? Murderer will be revealed this evening???
Where’s that Claude???, would love to know just how much dear Blanche has left me, after all I am her little sis…
Last rehearsal 7 PM tonight, full play Sun and Dame Grumpy’s prizegiving ceremony have to fit it all in very quickly cause of the forum changing So full steam ahead xx
pc plod no 2 here
we have just found the will and guess what Blanche left all her money to a home for old camels in Egypt so who ever the murderer is they did it all for nothing, what a shame. We have all the statements now and have worked out who did the dastardly deed.
Thank you all for birthday wishes. The family had planned the whole week . Each day at breakfast I was given a card, written by eldest grandson and decorated by littlest grandson telling me what I was doing that day. I went for afternoon tea, had a day a a spa with treatments, went to the seaside, relaxed in th hot tub at the cottage, went shopping round Cheshire Oaks shopping centre. It was a truly wonderful week. I had lovely present too, trip to Budapest with YD, who also made me a scrapbook about my life and family (few tears there), a beautiful designer watch from ED with some smellies, OH paid for week away, my day at spa, a charm bracelet with charms, eldest grandson (only 9) bought me earrings with his pocket money, and lots more.
how lucky was I?
kay x
As long as everything goes well, there will be a prizegiving ceremony on Sunday evening. Bribery acceptable…
Dame Helen is being sniffy about lending me a frock as she doesn’t want it to ‘smell’ afterwards - I was mortally offended until she explained she meant OF CAMEL!!!
Off to visit cousins etc today, and Wee Eric the pupkin. Millie Dog is going to show him how to drive the humans bonkers by getting REALLY muddy/smelly on walks.
Last Rehearsal this evening???
grumpy
So Blanche left all her money to a home for old camels - and who has been seen with camels around Madlands?? I think I know who poisoned Blanche and I’ve told the plods what I think.
Going to the hairdressers now - got to look my best for tomorrow.
As MMM (that is Milly Molly Mandy, not Millie the dog or Murder Mystery Madness!) Oh! Kay, what a lovely suprise! Aren’t families wonderful!
As Chester - Gadzooks! Ive been swindled! That Sheik Yafist is a cad. The camels were freed from the sanctuary to run amock while all the time he was conniving with my sister to make pots of money. That cash is rightfully mine! They used my capital to get into oil leaving me to hunt down missing camels and suffer the indignity of living life as a working chap!
Flora, get your hat we’re leaving… It doesn’t matter which hat, any blasted hat will do, just come down here now! Yes, yes dear, of course you can bring that lovely bottle of almond oil you have with you.
Oh dear young PC PLOD2 has led you all a merry dance, that will had been updated, he managed to acquire an old out of date will, tsk tsk tsk. PC PLOD1 and Miss Sparkle WILL have words with him…
Claude has the new/old will, not the newest of the new because of dear Blanche’s demise prior to signing the will leaving all her wordly goods to Milton De Witte. Poor, poor man literally, Claude hints that the family and Blanche’s employees are due to benefit, woo hoo, good old Blanche.
No-one can leave Chester, until Scene Three, when the murderer is unmasked, what ho off for a dip in the sea, just behind the Norcambe Pyramid xx
And by the way hasn’t Dame Grumpy been superly duperly sweet this year, she’s a wonderful woman. Doesn’t she always look stunning…huge chocolate fudge cake under the very important director type chair.
She is just lovely and her input into this play, we could never have performed sooo well without her skills as a person and a director, soooooooooo impressed! She is indeed fabulous xx
Oh good grief! Arrived in Morecambe to torrential rain and gusty wind. Thank whatsit it wasn’t like this 10 days ago! Can’t even see the BEACH never mind the sea or the mountains!
!! Sounds like you had a fabulous time. Belated birthday cake in the shed along with buckets of glitterberry juice and balloons on all the benches woo hoo!!
So full steam ahead
