I spotted a Vauxhall Corsa with my number plates on it -
V10 MAB - in traffic yesterday. The traffic was a slow herd of cows on a single track road, so I had plenty of time to consider my move. I stopped him at the ferry, gave him my mobile number and asked if he would sell it to me. He said not over his wife's body which had recently passed away, but he might leave it to me in his will. Nice!
Reminds me of a fine suit that I spotted in a tailors in Inverness, and had fitted for me. The previous incumbent had died in it at Xmas dinner and the family had sold it back to the tailor. Also nice!
I didn't waste the suit

but what a waste of a plate on a Corsa
