Helen and the Handcuffs

One of the more memorable incidents took place on Thursday night when the ‘gimp’ mask, whip and handcuffs came out. Mike Shaw was selected as the most suitable candidate to be Mistress Helen’s slave and donned the mask without problem. It was only when he got to the four-piece handcuff set that he had problems. Shouting across the marquee to his girlfriend (also called Helen) he asked which way round the handcuff set went. Without hesitation or need to think Helen replied that the longer chains needed to be attached to the ankles and the shorter ones to the wrists.

It was at this point that a young lad, probably no older than 10, and with a genuine innocent bewildered look on his face asked loudly of Helen “How do YOU know?..”. Helen immediately turned the most amazing shade of red and hid her head in her hands as everyone around her erupted into fits of laughter.

... and to this day nobody knows how Helen knew.
