Subject:Pooh interviewed before meeting President Bill Clinton
From:Woodcock, Frank
Date:Fri, 15 May 1998 15:33:38 +0100

Pooh will have to negotiate a strict security ring, this weekend around
Wheaton Aston, Staffordshire, UK which is just across the road from
where all the G8 World leaders are meeting and by sheer chance there is
Morris dancing in the area.

United States President Bill Clinton cannot miss Pooh arriving.

When asked about the possibility of meeting President Bill Clinton, Pooh
replied:-

"I have to put up with all sorts bouncing up and down in here  - one
more won't make any difference to my suspension. I do hope that he does
not spill his coffee on my nice clean carpet"

At this point the interview was quickly terminated to avoid a serious
diplomatic incident.

'Off the record' Pooh confided that the President's security men will be
'dressed in Morris dancer's outfits, complete with clogs, hankies and
bells and drinking lots of beer'. This is so that they will blend in
with the local folk and not be noticed. Pooh thinks that their cover may
be blown however if they should ask for a Budweiser.

Villa conversion VW Camper Van (2 litre air-cooled) at my new website.
