For the last 2/3 weeks someone down my road has been starting a car every couple of days and redlining it on and off for about half an hour before stopping... it’s some sort of completely standard 4 cylinder shed not even anything interesting. I can currently hear it revving it’s tits off, I’m just hoping the next thing I hear is a piston going through the b
ds face.
ds face. I began to notice maybe a year or more ago, that my immediate neighbour’s land line was permanently engaged when I called it, but I could usually reach him on his mobile.
I spoke with him a couple of weeks back, and mentioned the seemingly permanent engaged tone on his land line, was there a fault?
“No, it’s permanently off the hook”, he said.
When I queried the reason for that, saying, “If it’s something private, and you don’t want to say, that’s okay, I’m sorry to have asked.”
“It’s Jean’s, (his wife), sister in South Africa, she was always calling to say that they’d had this done to the house, that done, new furniture upstairs, new wooden flooring laid, air conditioning installed in the garage, so Henk can work on his truck in comfort, it was driving Jean nuts, so she just took the phone out of its cradle.”
I thought that that was a bit drastic, but it’s up to them I guess.

Jean’s sister brought Jean a crocodile skin handbag when the sister and her husband came over a few years back, and Jean left it in my taxi, when I drove her and Steve, her husband, to a restaurant at Tower Bridge.
Naturally, just as any of London’s finest would have done, I returned the bag to Jean.
Best I could come up with at short notice, sorry.
