OK Mega boring post.. but has to be written for prosperity...
I posted before that on one of my drives out at night I managed to bump into ( oh not literally by the way) not one cop car, but three.
Well last night I went out for a drive along the coast, not my normal thing, but circumstances were a bit different. I'm one of those funny sods that really hates letting the petrol/gas get down to nothing.. however that's what I had managed to do this week and all day I had thought about filling up, but put it off... so.. gets in car.. starts driving along coast and hey .. what's that flashing light on the dash.. oh man.. I need gas.
I haven't ever been close to people as Sammy other than when I was out with the Mrs... I certainly aint ever filled up the car.
So to stop waffling... or is that to carry on.. oh well.... . I drives towards this town which is next along the coast.. could I find an all night garage.. nope.. light is now flashing even more (or at least it seemed to be), I go to the next town (3 miles), all closed...so I turn around and come back but along a different road. When I am almost half way back to my home town I finally come across a garage thats open.
Now me being more nervous than I can tell you thinks to self, 'don't just drive in, pull up on the side of the road, and watch for a bit.. wait till there is no one else filling up' which I did..for 3 whole minutes.. not a soul.. no one, da nada...
So, I turn engine on, and drive into forecourt.. gets out of the car shaking.. grabs petrol cap at which point this fuel injection - God knows what kinda car speeds into the garage and screeches to a halt right in front of me... RIGHT BETWEEN ME AND THE CASHIER. Boy racer gets out, and starts filling up... Ok.. no worries me thinks, head down, fill up, pay .. some how ... and get out of here.. '
What's that I hear.. another car.. oh look.. ' in drives a cop car, pulls up right by the side of this boy racer, again RIGHT BETWEEN ME AND THE CASHIER, and starts filling up.
I know what you are all going to say. .Cop is good thing.. protect me should boy racer get fruity or worse.. didn't think of that at the time.. was just anover person I had to walk past.
Well of course I was worrying over nothing.. I was shaking that much it took me three goes to screw the petrol cap back on.. I wiggled as nonchalantly as I could past the young man, walked into the garage, straight up to the man behind the counter, almost threw him my money - gave him the slightest of smiles - turned about face and wiggled back out again.. thankfully both BR and cop were still filling up.. (thank God for large petrol tanks).
I almost covered the whole of my windscreen with mist my sigh of relief was that big when i got back in the car.
I think from the smile on the guys face he either fancied my butt or he had made me and found me amusing.. maybe I should go back and find out which?? or then again..
<-- going to check back of car for sticker that says, "Tranny driving this car, would all cops please follow"
