"What a let-down Martine but at least you got to see the back stage toilets and imagine which famous bums had sat on them …"Ms Hammond, you have reminded me of a pantomime visit to Wilton's a few years ago, when, going to the gent's, I met a sharply-suited guy who was obviously one of John Major's security team there (John Major was sitting a row behind us - Sandy Toksvig a couple of rows in front, by the way). So I asked him if it was OK to go into the toilets, and he said it was fine. So I went in, expecting to have to say something nice (although blokes don't normally talk to other unknown blokes in such places, I felt that I sort of knew him).Anyway despite my internal dilemmas there was no sign of him, but I did not check the facilities completely. I assume that he was behind a door. But, who knows, perhaps he had slipped his team and gone off for a brief assignation? I shall never know.
