GSC - Foiled by President Fred Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

foxscout: Sadly this has gone missing again and the area has changed since it was first placed.
The area is now very overgrown and what was a nice spot is now being used as a dump, lots of old wheels, carpets and wood.
It's still a nice walk to 'Shifting Sands' but i'm putting 'President Fred' to bed.

Thank you to everyone that visited this cache.

Seagoon: My name is Neddie Seagoon. I was a gas meter inspector. It all began the day of the annual general board meeting of the South Balham Gas Board.
FX: [Murmurs - gavel]
Henry Crun: Gentlemen - I have here the books for the - mnk - financial year just ended - and by the look of them, gas is here to stay. I am glad, glad, to say... To say that the South Balham Gas Colossus has made a gross profit of no less than three pounds twelve shillings and ninepence. Which proves, which proves that the...
Old Gas Board member: Well said.
Henry Crun: Ahh, now then...
Old Seagoon: Have you seen my teeth?
Henry Crun: You left them on your saxophone.
Old Seagoon: Oh yes.
Henry Crun: Now then, I'll read the vital balance sheets. Credits, credits - sales of rare gases, eighteen pounds. Expenses - one bag of coke, eight and eightpence; electric fire for office heating, two pounds, eleven and fourpence; replacing light bulbs in Gas Board's premises, thirteen shillings and tenpence; saxophone lessons for Chairman's wife, three pounds, eight shillings and ninepence.
Minnie Bannister: Do we have to pay for saxophone lessons, buddy?
Henry Crun: Oh - yes, yes, yes - you never know when it might come in useful...
Minnie Bannister: It's sinful.
Old Seagoon: What about our lads in Mafeking?
Henry Crun: ...mnk - mnk - next we have the - oh! - ah! - oh! I've overlooked an entry here - an outstanding debt of four pounds, nineteen shillings and sixpence!
Grams: [Crying and Whailing]
Henry Crun: Don't worry! Don't worry! I shall set this right at once. [Calls] Ned Seagoon?
FX: [Door opens]
Seagoon: Gas meter inspector Seagoon reporting for duty, sir!
Henry Crun: Seagoon, go to this address and serve them a seven-day final notice.
Seagoon: Yes sir. What's this? President Fred, Casa Rosa, Avenida Varest? That's South America!
Henry Crun: Ohhoho - is it? Then you'd better borrow the Gas Board's bicycle.
