A keen walker was travelling on a trip from Milton Keynes to Bedford, but he fell among Millwall supporters. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
By chance a priest came along. And the priest rushed to the traveller's side of the road. But being an Anglican priest, he had no money and could only offer sympathy. And a female vicar walked over and looked at him lying there, and she asked him how he related to being beaten up and lying there half dead, and shared his pain. Then left him there.
Then a despised Accident Claims salesman came by, and advised him how to claim compensation. But when the claim went to court, he found that all the money they won went to the Accident Claims company, and none to the poor traveller.
And the Millwall supporters beat him up again outside the court for his trouble.
MORAL - don't go to Bedford. It's not worth it.
Are you sure that you did not lift this from one of the Thomas Hardy plots?
