True Lizzy, I had become an infrequent visitor to the ladies, but 12 hour assignments plus a few weekends here and there do tend to gather a few shillings together. So I'm looking forward to converting the smoking/punting fund into a holiday fund.
As to the question of motoring............no, out of the question........hell will freeze over and Patricia will join the Little Sisters of the Poor before I give the car up. My beloved motor and the odd bottle of red wine now and again are not up for discussion. Would you rob me of the last little luxuries I have in life?
