All in a days work

Up at 6am. Out of house by 6.50. Start car. Reverse out of drive. Drive down to work. Go past park. Nearly at car-park. Look at the Nissan on fire.

What! Nissan on fire ! That's not in my usual routine. But there it was, smoke billowing out of the rear end, a few flames. Stops car to get mobile phone out of pocket. Suddenly realises that if Nissan blows up, I go with it. Drives to car-park 200yds further on.

Dials 999. Gets fire brigade on line. Tell them about car and the location. Fire station is only round the corner so it's not long before they turn up. Direct them to Nissan. 30 seconds later, fire is out. Job well done.

Buy parking ticket and lock car. Walk down to store.

All in a days work.
