My mum used to go out every night and leave me in the house alone. I was used to it- my dad had died a while back anyway. She had been leaving me for quite a few years when i perked up the courage to ask her where she went each night.

"I go out to RedRum," Is what she told me. I asked her what this 'RedRum' was and she said it was a drinking bar. That's what i believed for a while onward. She always came home grinning and looking a bit mental: who could blame her - she was out drinking, Right?

The strange thing was that my mum never came back smelling of Alcohol. It was a better smell - my mum hated bitter wine. Then one day it hit me. If you spell RedRum backwards....

Well, You know what she went to do.
