>>A few years ago I attempted (accidentally) to leave a pub in Wetherby without paying
Did that for an evening meal in an hotel in Lockerbie with a wife and two daughters in tow. Woke up next morning thinking I didn't pay. Drove to the hotel to be met by a furious owner who recognised me. After submitting to a few minutes of him ranting at me (I deserved it), he eventually realised I wouldn't have been there to mock him. I think he finally realised it was purely an oversight on my behalf and the reason I'd come back was to correct it. Apparently he'd sent he staff out looking for us, not thinking we'd taken the kids to a nearby playground to run off some energy after they'd spent hours in the car. I got the impression we parted as the best of friends as he realised I was doing the decent thing.
