A good "shaggy dog" story that held my attention to the end. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, which makes (Trumpets, flourish!) his brainchild Sherlock Holmes a Scot. Your story treads in the footsteps of the Great Sleuth just as you trod the streets of his creator's native city. HuzzAH!

You definitely tell it better, Ruby! I applaud you for going down that real life rabbit hole to find out who nicked your anecdote. Have you thought about becoming an actual detective?

Well, the 6 people who read to the end will be rewarded with a pay-off FOR THE AGES. So more fool the rest of ‘em.
