A short play to explain secondary referencing.

The Scene: A pub with three men sat at a very long bar. Two of the men, Evan and Thomas are sat next to each other and the third, Alan, is on his own at the far end.

Evan turns to Thomas.

Evan: Do you know the result of the Arsenal game?
Thomas: I saw Dave earlier who'd heard 5 minutes of radio and it sounded like Spurs were losing. I reckon Arsenal probably won.
Evan: We could always ask Alan. He did referee the game.

Thomas looks down the bar at the lone figure drinking his pint.

Thomas: I dunno. It's a long walk all the way down there. Shall we just assume Arsenal won?
Evan: Yeah. Let's do that.

THE END
