Fortunately unlike you, I only did the one foot, around summer of 1970 or 71. | |||

"Hitting send on an email without double checking the recipient list." Oh God! That one nearly lost me my job! Early 2000s, early days of work email and I received a joke mail from a friend outside work. It was basically a photo of a bunch of 4 or 5 year old doing painting in school and the kid in the centre is holding up theirs, and the painting just says "CUNT", caption underneath says "Mute child with tourettes". Sent it on to a bunch of work colleagues. Except one was the wrong person who turned out to be the PA of some senior in the company. Major disciplinary! | |||

"Guy I know ended up getting the roof cut off his car after stopping to help at the scene of an accident. He got one of the people involved to sit in his car to wait till the emergency services arrived and when they did the person sat in his car found they couldn’t move and fire brigade said they’d have to take the roof off to get them out. He was absolutely gutted, but how unlucky could you be thinking you’re doing the right thing " That’s quite funny too | |||

"Reversed out of my driveway onto the road and set off towards work - immediately within yards got caught by a 30 mph speed trap I hadn’t seen." People complain that they are disturbed by cars speeding through their town or village. After enough complaints, the police set up a speed trap. Guess who get caught the most? Yup, it's the locals | |||

"Like most people, the 1st few cars I had were second hand. When I got my 1st new new car, a Clio with a sunroof, I took slightly better care of it than the previous cars I'd had. A few months in, took it to a car wash and selected a high end option, you know, blow dry, etc. Laid the aerial (just in front of the sun roof) flat and got back in and sat there, as you do. All going nicely until the blow dry, that function had some sensory blade to keep the blowers an even distance from the vehicle as it moved from front to back, then from back to front again. As it's coming from back to front, the sensory blade went under the (not so) flattened aerial and just ripped it off leaving a nasty shredded end! One moment I was horrified, then I sat there for a few minutes laughing like a drain! I only ever played cassettes after that....." Did you not realise that you can unscrew them? Modern aerials are guided in a smooth dome. | |||

I'm the sort of person who knows where to put petrol and how to top up the washer fluid......after that I'm practically and technologically lost where cars are concerned. | |||
