One Tuesday as usual Bernard Ink was busy doing something in his flat when, 'all of a sudden the a voice was read over the intercom. It said:
"Dial - a- Ride"
Because Tuesday wasn't the day he normally went to Mitzon Day Centre he went berserk screaming, bawling and shouting and banging doors. As it happened he was booked for Tuesday's Dial - a - Ride because another chap Simon Lambchops also attended the same centre.
Bernie refused to budge when, 'all of a sudden one of the staff knocked on his door and said, "come out at once, Dial - a - Ride's here.
But, said Bernie, it's not my usual day."
In the end bernard Ink sucumbed and left the flat racing like a madman down the stairs.
Raising a commotion he made his way to the minibus. The hullaballoo didn't die down until he reached Mitzon Day Centre.
At lunchtime bernie got onto the same table as his Dial - a - Ride mate when he said:
"hop it, you upset me, why don't you go on a separate bus, you're a scum".
"Hoy! none of that otherwise I'll kick you out of this centre said one of the staff."
Due to the hostility a computer cab had to be booked for bernard Ink whilst the other man went on his Dial - a - Ride.
By the time he got home to Goodfellows Lodge Simon suddenly appeared and pushed bernie over. In a rush he raced up to his flat and locked himself in.
The hostility had upset him so much that he missed his supper because he just wasn't interested in food and slept on the floor because he was no good for anything. He lay there all night until the morning, and when the Dial - a -Ride turned up he had to go first in order to dodge his enemy, and when he did arrive at his centre he had to have his dinner in a room on his own for his own safety.
As the enemy Simon Lambchops had friends in the sheltered home where Bernie lived, Bernie had to avoid the communal area because the other people could gang up on him and bash him for what he did to Simon.
Later that night an angry Simon raced along the corridor and bashed the door down. Fearing for his life bernie opened the window and jumped out onto the ground below. he was spotted by the night watchman and Bernie told him about that man who was after him. The Nightwatchman phoned the police and they came and took Simon Lambchops to a secure unit in the nearby mental hospital.
The other residents turned on bernard Ink for what he did to Simon. This led to having to move bernie out of Goodfellows Lodge and return him to his old house, arriving there before midday.
Now all was safe for he was in a house all on his own with no enemies around.
