Best Blag Of The Weekend by Louise Reeves

August 19th, 2008

It was the V Festival over the weekend and everyone from the station certainly does their bit to make it all go smoothly. It’s a rather relentless task on the front desk checking everyone in but there’s always the prize for the best blag.

This year it goes to a fine young man and his lady friend who rocked up with a (photocopied) letter from us and presented us with a name in a really confident ‘Hi, I’m XXX from XXX media agency’ way.

Zoë had recalled hearing that name earlier that day so on checking the list had to tell him that he was already in the VIP area enjoying himself. He was rather taken aback at this news and came back with ‘but I’m here, this is me, this can’t be true’ etc. etc.

When we asked if had any ID, he had absolutely nothing on him with his name - it could happen, it is a festival after all. It was only when one of our colleagues leaned over and said that he knew the person who’s name was being taken in vain and had just had a drink with him at the VIP bar that our poor impostor realised he was beaten.

He swore (in a joking way) and sheepishly left the area.

10 out of 10 for trying.
