We've just finished tea with the kids. Dessert was trifle. Our youngest was being silly with his eating. "Don't eat from the wrong side of the spoon!" I said to him.

"Isn't that from a Pink Floyd record?" said my wife.

Ford Poplar (a tree) Popular (a car) - Ok it wasn't brilliant but I thought you'd get it.

My Sunbeam Tiger, bruised but unabashed, circa 1970.

Sadly not around any more by the looks of things. When did you two part company?

I part exchanged the Tiger for a 1972 Dodge Challenger approximately 18 months after this was taken, that would be circa 1974.

It looks as though the car is on the left of the road so one of the countries that drives on our side but surely it's more 40s/50s than 30s.
