After this little diversion the van roared on into Bremen, where Len very kindly dropped everyone near their homes, a superhuman achievement in the field of navigation, when you consider how much drink they had all gone through that night. And so to bed and oblivion, but not before quietly sneaking in at one in the morning, trying not to wake their hosts.

Off they lurched, Len at the wheel, Maggie, John and Mick in the back singing to keep him awake, the rest asleep. Suddenly, the middle of the van erupted as Alan (I) hurled himself across Toddy and Bill, towards the door. Len braked hard and turned to see Alan decorating the outside step and part of the door, while Bill, who had been rudely awakened from a deep coma by the flying body had to jump again as Toddy, inspired by Alan's gesture was suddenly seized by the urge to get in on the act; it looked such fun even Janet joined them.

By now everyone was beginning to feel hungry again and at Siegmar's suggestion, piled into the van and somehow drove to a small restaurant for pizzas. The singing was brought to an untimely end by the stony-faced manager, who declared "Singing verboten!" as it was disturbing his customers (obviously he did not realise that our heroes were his sole customers). But Mick kept up the noise, by reciting "The Tape Worm", although next day he couldn't even remember doing it!!

Details of the meal itself are rather obscure, save that everyone enjoyed it. Yet another lamp-shade went on the tally, and then they somehow found their way back to the van.

The beer had temporarily run out, but the flow was soon restored by Siegmar, who drove to the nearest village and brought back a few crates. It was now too dark for dancing, so our heroes reverted to singing - it was a good job they were out in the countryside, miles from other inhabitants, for the fearful racket continued non-stop until … midnight, perhaps? Maggie's powerful rendering of "Barley Mow" followed by "Martin said to his Man" were followed by many more, the details of which have since vanished into the depths of many a fuddled brain.
