Everybody in the place would probably shit themselves assuming it was doing a run away!

As an aside, whilst I was in Claim_Garage I had the pleasure of seeing a newish BMW X1 on the ramp that had been driven with a seized rear caliper resulting in a repair bill of £600 for a new caliper, pads, disc and labour.

What happened to diesel cabs doing 300+ thousand with general maintenance? That's progress for you!

Most of 'Steve's cabs' Mondeo's seem to managing it after watching Alan Howatt look after them on YT.

Now and again I fail to engage my brain before using my mouth and not say the right thing. Tonight such a thing happened.

I was chatting as usual with a lady punter I was running home when this happened.

Punter. Are you finishing soon? I can't wait to get home and into bed.

Me. Me too. I can't wait to join you in a couple of hours.

What I meant to say was something vanilla about looking forward to finishing my shift and going to bed but I tripped over my words. I immediately understand my mistake and glance in my mirror at her, a lady in her early to mid 60s and see that she's blushing.

Punter. Really? I can stay awake for you as you're offering!

Me. Honestly, I didn't mean it that way and you don't have to do that for me.

Punter. Two hours is about long enough to have a shower and change into some lingerie. What would you like? I've got lots for you to choose from!

About now I'm wondering how the fuck I'm going to worm my way out of this one!

Punter. I'm sure that you're not shy so I've got some toys I'd like to share with you!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck Fuck! I'm now desperately trying to think of some sort of excuse.

Me. I've got a bit of a cock problem and I'm totally out of cheeky blue knob pills.

She looks a little let down but insists that I write down her phone number for when I've managed to grab some Mycoxafloppin tablets later in the week.

I wouldn't say that.

Presumably Ford's unreliable van is now unmentionable as well?
