Or did it?<br /><br />P&O Cruises' Britannia ship was sailing from Norway to the UK on the return leg of a week-long trip when the rumble broke out in the buffet area during the wee hours of Friday morning.<br /><br />British journalist Richard Gaisford[b] was aboard and on hand to tell the world how 'It' went down on Twitter. He explained the punch-up came after an afternoon of 'patriotic partying' during which copious amounts of hooch and similar beverages were consumed.<br /><br />Gaisford, citing a witness, explained that it got nasty when a guest in a clown get-up stopped by the buffet. Police told the BBC that half-a-dozen people were injured during the fighting and that a man and woman, both in their early 40s, were nabbed on suspicion of assault. <br /><br />But in a twist, the cruise liner said there was no clown on board. And speaking to Metro.co.uk, police said quote "There was no clown on board or involved in this incident." <br /><br />Well, guess that's 'It' then.<br /><br />Thumbnail via <br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/tipsfortravellers/16114660384<br />https://pixabay.com/photos/clown-fun-cheerful-mood-face-2878245/
