Driving a Seven in modern day Traffic
#71
In the early 60’s my girlfriend (now wife) and I hitched a lift with a circus van in Ireland. It took about 2 hours to progress 5 miles by way of an interesting 30 mile detour of the villages while he broadcast through a loudspeaker information about the circus venue, times and acts, I still remember his words “……….with an all star international cast, featuring Robby from Vienna master of the one hand balance.” I asked if he performed in the circus, his reply, in a thick Irish accent was “yes, I’m Robby.”
This enforced detour rather threw the days schedule and as dusk fell we were grateful to have a lift from an old gypsy lady in her donkey and trap. It was a tight squeeze as the trap was full of empty Guinness crates!

I still give lifts but there seem to be far less hitchers these days. That said I last hitched myself only last year with a petrol can instead of a rucksack!
