• He entered Mr. Wing’s pub and asked for a pint of water, though Mr. Wing says that he demanded it and had a very rude and arrogant demeanor.
• Mr. Wing suggested that Mr. Walker make a donation for the pint of water, which Mr. Walker took as a demand to pay before he could receive his drink. The 50p was paid by whoever picked up Mr. Walker.

“I suggested he make a donation to Coastwatch, we have a tin for this charity on the bar. Normally I wouldn’t have said that, I have given gallons of water away to dozens of people today, it was his attitude and the way he said it.”
