Cars
"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Cars and my mother again
Mother had an annoying habit of never being ready when I went to pick her up. I used to have to either wait outside, fuming, or go into the house to find her 'making Dad's dinner in case he gets hungry' or 'just tidying the bathroom a bit'.
I cured her by parking outside the house one Sunday morning as usual, then playing the Hallelujah Chorus at full blast on t'stereo.
When she (and all the other neighbours) looked out of the window for where the noise was coming from, there I was, waiting patiently.
She was out of the front door like a rocket!
I kept that tape carefully but have never had to use it again.
