I meant
to tell you about a couple of interestingly decorated vehicles we saw recently.
First when we were waiting at bus stop a very sleek white Roller drove past.
Nothing interesting in that I hear you say. Well this particular roller has
gold guilt handles and trim. Shades of Del Boy from the TV show Only Fools and
Horses. If you don’t get the connection try googling it.
The next
sight was a very brightly coloured iridescent green Merc. We’ve never ever seen
one painted such a gaudy colour. I wouldn’t have looked out of place on a boy racer
car or a Lada. But on the Merc it just looked cheap and nasty.
Third
and final was another Roller, though it could have been a Bentley, was hard to
tell from the quick glimpse we got from the top deck of the bus. Because the
front was black we initially thought it had been burned out, but no. As the bus
passed the driveway where the car was
parked, we could see that it had been done on purpose. The matt black front gave
way to bright orange and yellow flames painted down the sides.
Strange
the things people do to their cars.
We have
been bombarded by media advertising about reclaiming oversold payment
protection insurance. For the last few months, almost every Saturday or Sunday,
and the occasional evening too we would get an automated message when we
answered the landline phone telling us we have been oversold this type of
insurance and that it is not too late to claim it back. Those calls have now abated thank goodness. I
did think it had all gone away until today when I received an urgent text
message telling me that my claim of three thousand and something pounds has
been approved and I should call them. All very well, apart from the fact that
we have never been sold even one pennyworth of payment protection insurance. Did I respond to the text? Too right I did. I sent
it to the bin immediately.
