A small fluffy Red Border Collie came into the bar, Peter noticed him straight away, he left his seat and picked up the bundle of fluff "who are you then?" the collie looked at him and nibbled his fingers, Peter smiled and said "you look like an Oscar" Oscar smiled and trotted over to Patty for some treats, Pattys heart melted.........................

Patty introduced the white wolf to Oscar and opened up her handbag...... How lovely to have another dog in the bar. She'd ensure that Oscar would know exactly where to get the good snacks from.....

While Patty was fully concentrating on ensuring that Oscar was totally devoted to her and no other, Flappy was intrigued to notice, in a dim corner of the bar, John and the Coate Faerie involved in a very quiet but intense conversation. They finished before Flappy could get close enough to hear anything and John shook the Coate Faeries hand and passed several boxes and bundles to him.
The Coate Faerie hurried off to his Office and John strolled nonchalently back to the bar where his tankard of Gruntfuttocks finest had finished chewing up the varnish on the bar top and was starting on the brass fittings.
John grabbed it and quaffed the contents, plonked the tankard back on the counter and called for another from the pretty but still somewhat bemused Italian waitress (she was still wondering where the hell Capri had gone)
Flappy was idly watching her and wondering if he should impart the information that Peter was to blame or if it would be wiser to wait until some time when the reaction could be more useful.

John and Flappy got up to leave and immediately fell over as they lay tangled Oscar rifled through their pockets and disappeared like a red flash Peter smiled as he watched the chaos through the bar and then gently whispered "thats my boy"..........

John went to the hidey hole and collected an assortment of doggy treats laced with laxative. "That'll teach both of them" he thought
Sure enough seconds later he was bounced by Oscar who snaffled the doggy treats and scoffed the lot.
John grinned as he got up.

A while later there was a roar of "come back here" from Peter as he followed a racing Oscar away from his now nicely decorated wheelhouse ....... it was easy for him to follow ...... Oscar was leaving a trail down the towpath.

Peter watched as the robots cleaned the wheelhouse, he had caught up with Oscar and after watching drone footage realised it was John that had done for the poor 8 week old Oscar! All of the robots were programmed so that they could not hurt any human nor allow any action by a human hurt others, Peter mentioned this to the worker robot who collected John and took him for trial by the council, hurting animals was a serious offence and Oscar was looking very ill and the evidence was damning!! As John discovered Jail was a nice place and his trial was programmed in for the next hour, he was fuming by the time he was placed in front of the council after all it was just a bit of fun wasnt it? The council thought not and John was given six months working in the fields with the worker robots, cabbage weeding was on at the moment and John had more than enough of it within the hour, what made it worse was the people and robots happy chatter as they did the work....................

Peter decided that he better explain this new world to the gang, "there are no farm animals" he explained "so what was that steak I had for dinner last night" smirked Flappy" "it was grown in a lab Flappy they allow no harm to happen to any animal as there are only pets here" Peter explained. Patty was looking around at cows, sheep and pigs in the field, "wots them then" she pointed "Pets" said Peter "Oh" said the gang with flappy was hiding the punt gun as he clicked that hunting might not be allowed in this world..................

Patty wasn't quite sure about this 'Brave New World' but decided poor ole John needed rescuing. Fancy making a bloke of his advancing years work in a cabbage field, it just wasn't on She wondered what would happed if she sprayed expanding foam into the robots wiring circuits.......

John loaded the punt gun and took careful aim. This total control of everybody and everything by Peter was stifling and beyond bearing.
He just kept his fingers crossed that the Coate Faerie had kept his end of the bargain

John and the punt gun shot skywards the drone had spied him and the magnet held the gun and John firmly in place, john was unfortunately upside down held by his metal toecaps! Peter watched and phoned the council quickly possession of a gun of weapons was banned and John was been taken to a distant volcano for termination! Peter pleaded for Johns life but the council was adamant, Peter decided it was rescue time but it had to be quickly otherwise John was going be be overcooked. The Coate Faerie was at the bar cackling he liked Peters world and was busy copying the rules to the bar book chuckling at how naive John was.................................................

Patty rummaged through her handbag..somewhere she was sure there was a magic carpet...ah yes.. pulling it out she swiftly unrolled it and climbed on accompanied by the white wolf... 'To infinity and beyond' she shouted as Freya whooo whooped and off they went, volcano bound. No one was gonna fry one of her friends.
