Westgate-on-Sea Sunday Big Book Study
Well the East Kent thugs are back in business! We are referring of course to Harry A (aka Harry the Handbag aka Robin the Boy Wonder) and Harry K (aka Batman) who operate out of the above meeting. (We'll be adding this to our Cult Where to Find shortly). They run the operation like their own private fiefdom and God help anybody who dares to forget this. A newcomer who unfortunately was unaware of the 'rules' for sharing was promptly reprimanded by these two 'gentlemen' for failing to comply after which all hell broke loose. Arguments flew from side to side with one member demanding a group conscience to address the issue. Both Harrys, being control freaks, did not like this idea at all and attempted to silence the opposition. Fortunately for our two thugs the majority of the group had been well trained and knew better than to rock the boat. However more than one member pointed out to our deadly duo something of the error of their ways to which Harry K (Batman) attempted to raise that defence employed by bullies the world over - that no one understood him (in his case because of the way he spoke - he's an American). He was quickly disabused of this notion by one of the dissenters. It was not his accent, he was informed, but what he said which constituted the offence.
We expect to see this meeting appear shortly in the Primary Purpose directory (an outside organisation and one already excluded by AA (Ireland). As you may recall both Batman and Robin's telephone numbers have been used in this directory as contact details for other groups run by the Primary Purpose 'franchise' including Herne Bay (Wednesday). Previously, when quizzed about this association at East Kent Intergroup, Harry A (the Handbag) initially denied all knowledge and then claimed that someone had 'stolen' his number and added it to the Primary Purpose directory without his permission! Yeah.... we believe you.... of course we do ….
More to come on this …. we're sure ….
