Today, the plan was a) go into T Wells, and get some tyres for tin top, then, b) go to CBS for some bits and pieces (needed today as it's a car day
). In theory, CBS are 1/2 hour from tyre shop. Leave home 10:45, arrive at tyre shop 11:00am. They can fit me in in half hour - 11:30, then take 15 mins for tyres - 11:45.
Ring CBS, advise my plan - they close at 12:00 - loads of time. Car goes in on time me starts thinking I'll be late. Ring CBS and do a mail order and pay so I'll just need to arrive and collect, which Neil agrees to - even suggesting we meet halfway as they were going to T Wells
Leave tyre shop, get onto A21 at 11:50, pull over, ring CBS to let them know I'll be there in 20 mins, hang up, drive and mile and get stuck in a 1/2 mile queue
. Through that, some plonker in a titchy Datsun pulls in front of me and does 25mph in a national. Then traffic lights, behind slow
van, traffic etc etc etc. Arrive at CBS 12:45. Neil waiting by gate Don't the rest of you start doing it, but I thought you should know
Thanks for your patience Neil
