............ when the heavens opened. Thunder,lightning the lot.

I was about 10 minutes from home and decided I would be okay but there had been an accident on the A13 so there I was sitting in traffic getting soaked.

I decided to pull off into what I thought would be a fairly deserted road and of course it wasnt...

..so to the amusement of a couple of white van men.. there was this blonde in a wet t-shirt putting the roof on her Elise.

at my age the reality is NOT as good as the picture you have in your head.

That 10 minute journey took an hour

Did anyone else get caught?

I always park my car in the underground.

Always.

This morning it was full (for some reason, very unusual).

So parked it outside.

(can you see where this is going...?)

Roof off, outside. It starts raining. I think nothing more of it because my car is underground.

2 hours later.

FECK.

Gonna have a wet bum on the drive home!

I was actually trying not to sound stupid by not knowing what the acronym was. I have had enough acronyms in the last 2 weeks to last a life time (new job - new technology)
