We have one couple at Our Place who insist on the service being no more than one hour in duration, because (they maintain) the Bishop Says It Must Be So.
He doesn't, of course, but they make sure that they come in late, so as to be in church for only one hour. If FatherInCharge preaches for more than 10 minutes (he usually averages 12), and then there are quite a few notices, the same couple will leave during the final hymn, without waiting for The Angelus, or even to say Cheerio to the rest of us...
...and yet, if we don't turn out to slave for them at the Jumble Sale or Quiz Night they've organised, we never hear the end of it...
