"Our merry band of intrepid Morganeers assembled at the prescribed rendezvous, a worthy and notable location and then without further ado embarked on our voyage, completed without mishap and during which many of us took the opportunity to stretch our cars' legs and make "significant progress", to Mrs Miggins' Pie Shop, whereupon a splendid feast was enjoyed by all before wending our tired but happy way home in the darkling twilight etc etc etc".
Gadzooks, what blatant plagiarism ! 'Twas nary a twelvemonth ago that I submitted the synopsis of a ripping yarn entitled
The Super 3:
It was a dark and stormy night. Upon arriving in Malvern in their motorised Morgan conveyances, Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an eccentric German scientist, together with his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans, each purchased a long-term car par ticket. The following forenoon, departing the epicentre of that spa town by Montgolfier, the wind conveyed them as far as Iceland's renowned inactive volcano Snaefellsjokull, where they set about a spot of spelunking. In the ensuing days, they contended with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric creatures from the Meozoic era. Eventually they were spewed back to the surface by an active volcano in Italy, and then hitch-hiked home the 1,564 miles to Malvern and celebrated with a flagon of real ale apiece.But I never heard back. Maybe it was because I mis-spelled "Mesozoic".....
