I remember one night my friend and I had gone to the nearest large town in a chap's pick up truck. We went to a disco while he and his mate went off to a dodgy druggie pub. We were to meet them later if we wanted a lift home. After the disco, we got to the pub and could hardly see across the room for smoke. We piled into the pick up but got stopped by the police, driver breathalized, failed, and we were taken to police station.
I remember my friend had to ask to use the phone there to ring her Dad to come and get us.
"Dad, don't go mad but I'm in a police station"
A while later he marched angrily in, wagging his finger at my friend;
"Right young lady - that's it now!" followed by him marching up to the desk and saying quietly
"Excuse me officer, could you tell me where the toilet is"
And for some reason, this caused my friend and I to collapse into inapproprate laughter - as we often did at that age
It was a while before we went in the pick up again.
