How terribly embarrassing.
I spent an hour yesterday evening at the Community and Culture committee in Hedge End. I was keen to go because I'd written about the previous meeting (December) not being able to raise a quorum. I was keen to see if the committee did any better this time.
The agenda looked interesting too, and so it turned out. Enough Councillors turned up this time for a quorum to be formed and it was a very informative meeting, well worth my time. You can read about it on Eastleigh News if you would like to.
But a little more interesting for the Town Councillors perhaps, than for me...
Item 8 on the agenda asked the press and public to leave the meeting, as the final item on the agenda covered some "exempt business". The Committee needed to discuss the "Serving the Community" awards, and choose winners I presume, so it was entirely reasonable for that to be done out of the public eye.
As I was the sum total of he press and public, the only such person who turned up for the meeting, I collected my things together and stood up when asked to leave, exchanged a brief few words with the Councillors, wished them all good evening and tried to make my exit as inconspicuously as possible, not stopping to put my coat on, being careful not to drop things on the floor etc....
On walking down the stairs though, I noticed that something rather important didn't feel quite right.
On checking, I discovered that my trouser flies had burst open. The zipper toggle thing was at the top of the zip in exactly the right place, so I'd done them up, but for some reason the teeth on the zip had sprung apart....
OMG I thought, I've just stood in front of Hedge End's Culture committee with my flies undone....
Even Compo Simmonite, he of the dangerous trousers in Last of the Summer Wine, didn't manage to do anything quite as embarrassing as that...!
