Did somebody not get shot? I'm sure I remember some time in the sixties about a gang of lads spending the night in the White house, one of them stood on the half derilict upstairs floor with a white sheet over his head making whaling noises and one of the other lads downstairs shot him with a twelve bore shotgun. Or is this just another exaggerated story?
