Carron had exactly the same experience at a work function some years ago. Only she tried to light a ciggy at the same time. This being the '80s her hair was full of "product". It caught fie and she burst forth from the cubicle with her knickers round her ankles and collapsed into a sink trying to dowse it
. All this in front of Sydney's great & good, including the PMs wife!
Somehow she soldiered on through the rest of the evening, deflecting unwanted questions with her patented "Death-Gaze 2000".
She tells this story all the time so I don't feel like I'm snitching.
