A man who claimed that there was ‘no time to explain’ has conceded that this was hyperbole and there was actually plenty of time to explain.
“I admit it. I was caught up in the moment. Of course there was time to explain. I feel such a fool,” admitted Stewart James, an associate of tough man Rock ‘Rocky’ Rockson.
“What I really meant was that the whole affair was quite urgent. Very urgent, actually. I should have just said that, and then, whilst en route, I could have taken the time to explain. I don’t know what I was thinking.”
Tough man Rockson was forgiving of the whole situation.
“Well, I knew immediately that there probably was time to explain. There was a five-minute car journey to get there, so unless we were talking about the plot of a David Lynch film, or the market conditions that lead shops to put out their Christmas chocolates in August, then there was obviously time to explain. Particularly with that traffic. At that time of day, it could add another three or four minutes to the journey.
“Still, Stew meant well. He needed to convey a sense of urgency and he did so. I’d just suggest that next time there’s no call to lie.”
The incident follows on from similar events just a few days ago when it became clear that you didn’t have to see this, a written or spoken description would have adequately sufficed.
