PS
The word is that the two Primary Purpose contacts for these East Kent meetings –
Harry K and Harry A (aka Batman and Robin) - have some rather
interesting habits. We've learnt through the grapevine (no – not
THAT Grapevine!) that Harry A (Robin), when challenged by the East
Kent Intergroup about his inclusion in this outside directory
as a contact for one of the above groups, denied all knowledge and
claimed ….. identity theft! According to Harry A (aka Harry the
Handbag) some person (or persons unknown) had maliciously ripped off
his name and number and posted it off to Dallas (HQ of the Primary
Purpose movement). In the subsequent interrogation (which did not
include the use of thumbscrews) his story changed and he was asked if
either group had agreed (through a group conscience) to their details
being placed in the Primary Purpose directory. Obfuscation followed
upon obfuscation whilst Harry A sought to evade his ruthless
inquisitors. No one (including the hapless Handbag) seemed at all
convinced by his feeble explanations. And yet the groups and his
contact details still remain posted on the Primary Purpose website!
As for Harry K (aka Batman – and holder of our prestigious Thug of the Month award) it would seem that he likes to get all
“touchy feely” when it comes to carrying the one true, pure and
unsullied AA message to the heathen (we mean you and us!) …. and
most especially with the ladies. Apparently he's a fellow who likes
to 'get up close and personal' when transmitting what he's got!
Perhaps we've got this all wrong and he's merely a repressed tree
hugger who's all confused! Or maybe it's just a hobby! Who can say!
