Money can’t buy these tickets
Its the final countdown!
There’s only a few short days left until the contest of contests!
When true-love competes against bacon, to prove an absence of nuptual transgressions, and a surfeit of hugs and kisses.
For centuries, the good folk of Great Dunmow, have placed five worthy couples in front of a jury of maidens and bachelors, to test their love.
Well, three couples from the US of A, and all good friends of mine, have applied to appear in this porky pageant and while the contestents names must be kept secret until the day, it appears there has been some kind of leak (or ‘bubble and squeek’ in cockney parlance) as the Essex Chronicle revealed yesterday:
“Five couples, including a husband and wife from the USA, will line up amid the pageantry to put their marriage to the test and bring home the bacon.”
Could it be, that this un-named couple from the USA are the very same as one of the couples I know?
Is there going to be a love-induced bacon-bonanza of gargantuan proportions?
Will this be the moment, that the rest of the world falls back in love again with America?
The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a butchers knife.
The line shows the American’s are 3:1 underdogs. I have put my entire life savings on Mr. Dotts and his Maid Erin. The stars and stripes will wave high above Great Dunmow on this fine day!!!!
