Curiously Larry , despite featuring in the oft used expression , seems to be a rarely encountered individual.The only Larry I ever knew , worked with me in Barclays Bank at 100 Old Broad Street , EC2.He was Irish , very tall , and didn't punch me in the face,as would have been his right,when playing darts at lunchtime,in the rest room , I inadvertently pinned his left hand to the dartboard, by throwing my dart before he had retrieved his last dart.His wife was Finnish , a real beauty , as I remember .
