I probably did, when I was young and even more foolish than I am now.

My 25 year-old daughter thought the Salahis should be jailed! Jailed? I asked. For what, being rather brassy? For being rude?

Here were two people who came to dinner (suitably attired) at the People’s House. Why should this be a crime?

Yet speculation now is that this will backfire on the Salahis in that Mrs. Salahi will at least lose the opportunity to appear on some ridiculous ‘reality’ show.

Yes, I have gotten away with a lot of things at a lot of places. If your dressed and act the part most people won’t bother you. I think its an equal balance between looking the part and acting like your supposed to be there.

I have walked thru department store inventory rooms, restricted sections of museum, etc… You just have to act like your supposed to be there (lie to yourself if you need to) and no one bothers you.

As for the presidents security…thats rather sad that they got away with it. They should really be as tight as the military. Walmart inventory room or a bar room reception is one thing, US President part – you should have ID badges practically.

Yes, on the first weekend I moved to my home in Cumbria I popped in to all the pubs (I think there were 4 or 5 in those days, 2001). But one of them was a private party (a retirement or something). It was only after I got chatting to the guests there I realised my mistake, and they made me feel truly welcome!

I have once by accident. A few of us accidentally gatecrashed the president’s opening conference at our unions conference last year. We wondered why the drinks were free and it only dawned on us after a while what we had done. We would have been noticed but we weren’t evicted!

No I can’t say I have, but I think you’re right about them dining out on this forever.

I gatecrashed a bash at the Carlton Club a few months ago. The guests were paying £150 to meet the former Prime Ministers, including Baroness Thatcher, and members of the Shadow Cabinet. My friend and I wondered what was going on, walked in unchallenged. Friends, including MPs, just started talking to us. Then the waiters brought us drinks, more drinks and ….
