Twas the night of the famous Arts Council 'Grants For The Arts' seminar in Swinton (near Rotherham). Bad luck is never far away from WebsterGotts, and disappointment lurks behind every corner. Tonight was to be no different. What would surely be a simple task for any other artists, the short train journey from Sheffield to Swinton turned into a living nightmare for WebsterGotts.
After spending hours sitting in a cafe listening to karaoke versions of Fleetwood Mac songs, they embarked on this easy voyage. Unfortunately, the pathetic and frustrating rail network was against them. Once sat upon their chosen carriage, it slowly dawned upon WebsterGotts that this astonishingly slow train was going to make them over 40 minutes late for their important seminar, despite rail information stating that this train would arrive on perfect time.
Upon arrival at the Swinton Lock Leisure Club, where said Arts Council seminar was being held, WebsterGotts found all doors and windows locked, with no staff at reception. Despite numerous phone calls to the office and endless bell ringing they were forced to concede defeat and begin their miserable and cold journey home to Sheffield. So to this day WebsterGotts remain poor and in the dark on all issues Arts Council related.
