Britton
Andrew Britton, also known as Andy Britton, Britski, Britaldo and a variety of pseudonyms which are variants instead on common terms of derision rather than his name, attended Adams’ Grammar School with Statto & JTA, and is now reading for a degree in physics at Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford.Antics
Lateness
Brits frequently failed to be on time for all manner of things and, while this in itself is not especially notable, he had some pretty exciting excuses.

- ”Err… Well, I locked myself in my front room. The knob just fell off. I think I’d been fiddling with it too much.”
- ”Err… You see, my dog got a sardine tin stuck in its mouth… I had to stay behind to get it out.”

Britton: Err… Not particularly…
