John Newman anecdote

My dad is an amazing store of anecdotes. Example 1 was related tonight, over dinner, and was prompted by Strictly Come Dancing.

“When I was in the RAF, all my mates were going out dancing on a Saturday night. But I couldn't dance, so one of my friends taught me the jive. Well, a bit later I was in Bognor, and I went in for a jive competition with some girl. We didn't get eliminated, and she said you can really jive!, and then we actually won; I got £5 and she got a box of chocolates, so I gave her a bit of money — you deserve it! Turns out she was Miss Bognor that year.”

Yes, my dad won a jive competition with Miss Bognor. You shoulda heard the anecdote before that one! He's absolutely full of these. Did I tell you about the time he stole the fish?
