| >//A light shines. We have contemplated the psychology of the individual and obtained a plausible solution. OULES are essentially like puppies, and so the best way to train them is with biscuits. And thus we form our plan. It probably will not mean anyone's any earlier to rehearsals, but it will mean there're more biscuits around, and so Sue and I will worry less.//" | >//A light shines.

| + | And so "Biscuit Debt" was born. It works a little something like this: | ||
| + | *If you are more than 15 minutes late for rehearsal, you must bring a packet of biscuits next time. | ||
| + | *If you are more than 30 minutes late, you owe us 2 packets of biscuits. | ||
| + | *If you are more than 45 minutes late, you owe us 3 packets of biscuits. | ||
| + | *If you are more than an hour late, or fail to show up at all (without reasonable excuse), then you fall into wine-debt, and must bring a bottle of booze to the next rehearsal. | ||

| + | Nowadays (well, 2018), the enforcement of Biscuit Tax comes down to a director-by-director basis and the provision of wine is more limited to parties (or when certain past Secretaries drink before rehearsals...), but it is a fact universally acknowledged that nobody objects to biscuits at rehearsals. | ||
