Merry Chrimbo


The APPH Christmas night out in 1987 was to an Italian restaurant in Liverpool called Buca Di Bacco. After the meal I was fascinated at the burning glass of Sambuca before me, a coffee bean floating in the glass and a faint blue flame wafting around, my concern was that the longer the flame burned, the less Sambuca would be available.

I decided that the best way to extinguish the flame was to place my right palm on the glass, something that was quite memorable in itself and left a neat, thin, circular scar about 3cm in diameter, a scar that was there for three more Christmas and New Years Eve parties.
