But, but, but... why were you wearing a cap inside the car? It's equiped with a roof to keep the rain off!

Now to be fair, you have to crank the seat a long way back if you have a crash helmet on! (190cm)

I know, but I'd travelled up to Grantham by train, and the cap's a convenient place to park the necessary polaroid sunglasses for driving on a sunny day and I'm a little shy of my partial baldness too. I was collecting DanDan's former pride and joy (he's off to pastures Alfa and oil-burning for a while. ) and so I was in full travelling regalia - waterproof snug jacket, backpack full of 'emergency kit', SatNav, spare mobile 'phone and my Flux Rescue stuff and recently received membership pack.

Well, I suppose I can make an exception in this one case. You get a credit for recognising that polaroid glasses are the only ones worth using when driving.

"You are Lobby Ludd, and I claim my £5" (old TV show quote), I am honoured, sirrah! BTW, did you get my PM about widgets, may I ask? Just a general enquiry really.

Indeed, and I have answered.

p.s. You are Chalky White, and I claim *my* five pounds!
