Luton trip report part 2 - Night out in Leicester
We walked the 20 yards back to the hotel and went to our rooms. Fortunately I was in the room with Cousin Billy. Billy Senior and Billy were in the other room so I didn’t have to put up with Billy singing “Tell Billy I love him” in the shower. Last year Billy wanted to show me his ‘soap on a rope” but this year Cousin Billy had “soap in a tin” which was very good. We had our showers then had a bit of a rest to help digest our buffet. Soon it was time to get ready and we met the others in Weatherspoons. We were a little bit late as we were watching the end of a frame in the snooker - by the time we got there Billy Senior and Billy were onto their second bottle of wine and were looking well pissed. We had a drink whilst they finished off their wine then set away down the street in search of adventure. We visited a few bars and had a few more drinks but along the way we lost Billy Senior who wandered off somewhere (in search of *****?). As the evening wore on there were big queues at the best places so we jumped in a taxi and headed back to the hotel and casino.
In the casino I had a walk around watching what was going on and Cousin Billy and Billy sat down at the roulette. I soon found a quiet table and invested £40 in 8 £5 chips and had a few hands of blackjack. I ended up playing for about an hour and ended up £20 down. Billy was the same but Cousin Billy was £70 up. We’d had enough by now so went back to the hotel. Billy opened the door to his room and there was Billy Senior, spread-eagled on the bed! He muttered something incoherent but soon slumped back into a deep sleep so we left Billy to tuck him in and went to our own room and straight to bed, Cousin Billy on the sofa bed and me in the double. We had a good nights sleep and woke up about 7:30. Cousin Billy made a nice cup of coffee and we then got ready and packed. We’d arranged to meet the others in the foyer. When we got downstairs Billy was at the counter making a complaint. He was telling the manager that during the night some lads had broken into their room and were threatening them with all sorts of violence etc. Billy was describing them (one tall skinny lad, a little ‘un and another with black hair) and the manager was taking it all very seriously and taking down all the details. After Billy has finished I asked him what had happened as it sounded serious. He told me not to worry, it was only Miller and his mates who’d got their room keys and come into the room when they’d come back at 2:30!. Billy was ‘trying it on’ to see if he could get a refund!!

The four Billy’s gathered in the foyer and made our way up the street on the lookout for some breakfast.
