Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Dingdell]

I would just like to post this in defence of my driving.

 When I was younger and travelling about with a group of friends I also had my parents with their trailer to move about. Dad wouldn't or couldn't drive and so, being an only child, the job fell to me.

Now if the group moved say a hundred miles or so, my trip was three hundred miles. First moving one trailer and then going back for the other.

If I didn't get there in a reasonable time the ones already there would have their pick of the best areas to work so it was important to me to get the two trailers moved asap.

Old habits die hard.

How did you get back for the next one?

Eh?

He drove back in the lorry that he towed the first one with.

Don't give her the right answer so quickly in future - you leave us no time for alternative 'answers'.

Sorry - I misunderstood the meaning of trailer. I assumed we were talking about flat bed lorries.

Trailer = Caravan.

Sent a letter to the Sunday Times today. Article in there about Gypsies - spelt with a small g. I put them right. Bet they don't print it but well pleased if they do - after all if they called someone a pakistani they would get in trouble wouldn't they?

Thanks Trace, I appreciate it.

The use of the lower-case g is a small detail, but it symbolises so much.

Try this simple test. Type the word "pakistani" with a lower- case p, (as you have in your post) into the reply box, then do the same thing with the word "gypsy"

Now, use the spellchecker and see which one it picks up on...

[RED-DOG]

Tony. This is the "Threepenny bit" Austin I was talking about.

Lots of Gypsy families used these. The men used to paint over the little window to prevent pedestrians looking up their wife's skirt.

BTW- I seem to remember something about someone betting someone else a shilling.....

You should already know the players so you should know what their ranges are. Call looks an excellent option though.
