Accepted a late job to that London. Accepted the client's estimate of mileage to work out a price. Thought SE8 was either Kingston or Wimbledon.

It's Lewisham.

Trolley parts? A lot of those bits are off the Sunderland and Lagonda, they both still seem to function alright though. Apart from the Lagonda not really having any brakes of course.

Anyhow, I've had the old AVO out and it seems I have an earth fault on the toaster. I think we paid about 12s/6d for it some years back so it's probably time to treat ourselves to a new one.

A brief search suggests I'm looking at anything between £9.99 and £1800. I reckon something around the £40 mark should suffice, I'll have a proper look a bit later.

Quite fancy a bit of Kentucky Fried Chicken tonight. Are they up and running with their business again now?
I thought we'd solved the Lagonda's lack of brakes with that old ship's anchor and a couple of industrial bungee chords???
Ooohhhh I do like a Zinger burger lick

The ship's anchor was last seen lodged in the front O/S wheel arch of a police car. Ask Battert when you see him next.

Words can’t describe the trivial issues today that have mounted like the cut of 1000 knives to reach a point of self combustion. To cap it all the disorganised aholes masquerading as 20th Century fkups have only just told us they’re starting at 7am tomorrow -10 Of them - having not responded to ‘what’s your eta’ all week. I honestly feel like going out for the day and locking the gate. fk ‘em.

So, I'm sensing a little frustration from you Pushfit, do you require a) moral/emotional support b) physical restraint c) a large stty stick to beat said people with?
ION I'm off to bed cos I'm up at ahole o'clock tomorrow night night chaps!!

Satnav said ETA to Lewisham 17.45. Arrived 19.45. Satnav with a sense of humour or no grasp of traffic in suburban London on a Friday evening.

Although, on reflection, I was partly responsible for the delay. The hold up on the Chiswick flyover was due to a broken down people carrier being pushed up a gradient by two middle aged Muslim men getting nowhere. I pulled in front and offered to tow them off the flyover. They asked if I could tow them home but I said I was expected in Lewisham. They accepted the tow and I dropped them at Porsche HQ. The spokesman of the two said he realised it wasn't what I would have charged if I had been called out as breakdown recovery and would I accept a drink. That would be very nice, thank you. Forty quid! Its no wonder they don't like alcohol. Forty quid for one drink? I'm not fking drinking there. Jesus.

You sir are a dieing breed, not many people will stop to help others these days!! I've stopped to help push a few cars to safer places, I like to think if you help others when you or your loved ones need help there'll be someone like you to help them!!

It’s started. Flounces and tiaras lights camera action does my bum look big in this ooh darling panic can we stop the background aeroplane noise.

Yes I’ll ring air traffic control right away.

A different world.

Mandy from Makeup has a ‘glad eye’. Which given the rest of her is of some concern

I suppose you're having to wear some sort of costume for this film business? I don't mind operating the clapper board if that's any help.

I'm having some serious problems deciphering all that, I know my code book's out of date but none of that makes any sense!!!
Either you're quoting from a film while on ecstasy, you're having some form of breakdown, someone foreign has access to your account or you're really at some sort of "Filming" thing!!!

I think it's the film thing he mentioned a while back, they're using his WW2 Willys Jeep and he's got some sort of cameo role in it.
No doubt he'll enlighten us when he's finished buggering around with his make-up.
