It was one of those days on the rank, Quiet, School holidays and the rest. So waited on the rank for 50 minutes to get a job. Picked up, completed the job and fueled up at the local Garage. Thought I’d put £30 in the tank but my mind wandered so ended up putting £31.62 in. Went back to rank and the dam que of taxis was even longer. Walked down the front and told the driver in strict confidence that the Fuel station down the road had a faulty pump, No7. Told him I had filled up the tank and said it only charged half price. Shown him the receipt. For the next hour it was easy pickings.

And when I came out the next morning someone had slashed my tyres.
