My longest-standing pal (we met a few years ago, when we were six) came today to join me and the Chummy at the Shuttleworth 'Best of British' show in Bedfordshire.
He arrived in a new red Toyota hybrid - a change from the three black ones that preceded it. I asked why he had changed the colour and he explained that each of the black ones had been hit by another car - each driver claiming they 'did not see' him.
I asked if the colour change had been a success. He said it had not. Within a short time of them getting the red car a badger made a determined suicide attempt and removed the inner wheel arch lining of the red one.
I said he should get an Austin Seven...any colour.
