INTRODUCTION:
This fairy tale is about the merger of two clans, the Jeggies and the Howden Enders, who lived in the fabled land of Sneck many years ago. There were actually three clans in existence at that time but the Merkinchers had always preferred to be in-bred and stay in their own part of the Kingdom, mainly becos they were usually too intoxicated to go further and/or barred from everywhere else. The three clans had actually lived together in relative harmony but in different standards of living, financial well-being and numbers. But the Sneck Borough Council, in association with the Inversneck Narcissist Emporium (INE), were under pressure to enter in to the prodigious Scottish Premier League of Family Unity and were determined to unite the clans by whatever means, fair or foul.
THE AUTHOR:
Charlie Binman was a wee bloke who had worked as a Refuse Collector for the Sneck Borough Council all his life. He was naturally an intrusive and nosey little sod who had spent many years foraging through the refuse disposed off by the businesses and families of Sneck, without even getting his hands dirty. He claimed to have links with all the clans although it was oft suspected that his true allegiances lay with the land of Dungwall across the sea. He was an astute academic however and enjoyed running - but then again he had too on many occasions.
