Story

Help Barry raise enough money to get out of jail!

Barry Stratford AKA “Shabby Stratford”

From Coco Property Group

The Crime: Charged with dress code violations

The plea: Guilty

Raising money for Shire Hall Museum in Dorchester, Barry stands accused for his refusal to acknowledge the existence of a shirt tuck. Witnesses claim that he frequently wanders into the office with his shirt untucked and his belly on show. This dedication to sartorial lawlessness has turned the entire office into a high-risk zone for accidental abdominal sightings.

Will the judge be lenient? Or will he be told to tuck his shirt in and sent to the cells? Find out on Friday 13th March!
