Priceless photo of Hugh Grant Murdoch bugger knockered, snookered, recorded, and stiffed on bar tab

First, a pertinent snippet from the original story (hat tip to Snoutport):
World exclusive: Hugh Grant turns the tables on the phone-hackers The bugger, bugged.'

"..next thing we had arrived and he was asking me if I would pose for a photo with him,
"not for publication, just for the wall of the pub".
I agreed and the picture duly appeared in the Mail on Sunday that weekend with his
creative version of the encounter.He had asked me to drop into his pub some time.
So when, some months later, Jemima asked me to write a piece for this paper, it
occurred to me it might be interesting to take him up on his invitation.'

Hugh Grant racks up bar tab worth £5.45 at local pub in Dover... but leaves without paying

Handshake: Grant shakes hands with landlord Paul McMullan
before he accidentally left without paying

Hugh Grant might be one of Britain’s most successful actors, but he still managed to get out
of paying £5.45 for his latest bar tab.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral star was enjoying a drink of Spitfire ale while buying a round
at his favourite pub in Dover and chatting to the locals, but then left without paying.

He initially ordered a couple of rounds for himself and his golfing partner but after realising
the ale was stronger than he thought and he had to drive, he drained his pint glass, shook the
hands of his fans in the pub and left.


The star then gave landlady Georgia MacKenzie a hug and the 24-year-old asked him if he would
marry her. Grant joked: 'Well clearly there are some benefits to being an actor and I do get
paid an awfully large amount of money.' Miss MacKenzie said: 'He is much better looking in real
life than on screen and looks perfectly fit and healthy. It is good to see him looking so well.'
