Builder slips before the slopes

House builder Frank Fahy didn't make it to the Swiss slopes last week as a guest of Hamilton Osborne King. The agency had invited him and six of its best house building clients on a ski junket, but Mr Fahy discovered that his passport was out of date at Dublin airport. A rushed trip to the passport office in town ended in disaster when his car was clamped. By the time the car was freed, it was too late, the others had gone without him. Bad luck Frank.
