Monks Didn't Appreciate Serenade at Quarr Abbey
Murray Walker, 54, a beggar, sang operatic arias in three languages outside Quarr Abbey near Ryde at 3 30 in the morning and smashed the door with his fists and a hoe. He told the judge he was singing for his breakfast and later said he only wanted a crust of bread and something to drink. A policeman testified he was sober.
