The looks of envy and hatred that I got from a few fathers as I get out of my Elise at Colchester Zoo, probably helped that Mrs DL was wearing a particularly fine summer dress and all the parents trying to get children out of their Volvo XC90s and people carriers looked stressed out before they even made it into the Zoo.

Unfortunately the effect was somewhat ruined when a 7 year old wondered over and asked me why my car was held together with tape

That's good that.
When I took my MR2 up to Shetland, my daughter (14 at the time) asked if I could give her a lift into town to meet her friends. Conscious of how teenage girls tend to not want to be seen with their parents, I asked if she wanted me to drop her off around the corner or something; to which she replied "No, I want you to drop me off right in front of them so they can see that my Dad's waaaay cooler than their Dads"

Real people with great names. Mr Guy Fullalove being one of them.

My favourite was a woman I served in the CO-OP when I worked there. Her name was Mary Christmas.

Would one assume she only came once a year?

I'll always chuckle when I think back to my housemate's university lecturer; Dick Craven.

Anyway back on topic!

We've been mentally busy at work this morning, various outside agencies milling about and we've all been rushing about like mad things trying to get everything done, I've not even had lunch yet. But as I let 2 groups of different people out, they both said "Thanks for all your help today". It made me smile on my way back into the dungeon.
