You hear many things in life, many truthful, many utter bullshit.
Take Saturday for example, caught a taxi home. Then arranged with the driver to book another taxi for an hour later. This was a black cab, so no dodgy private hire here.
So 19:15 turns up, but the cab doesn’t. My wife calls TOA. No booking has been made.
Lie? Promise? Failure? dunno, probably all three. Private hire turned up within about 20 minutes.
Avid readers may recall my job indecision posts. In the end decided to join the company where I’ve been for the last 2 years or so. Took a week off to sort out my affairs (Accountants, P45, etc). Was waiting for the contract of employment to turn up. Well it didn’t and still hasn’t. So day 6 of working for free. It’s rumoured to be coming soon, but I have yet to see it.
Lie? – no Promise & Failure? – yes

hen decide where to go. Nice uneventful journey from Brum, about 4.5 Hours in total. Slight disappointment when I got to the car park at Wast Water to find a ticket machine, which wanted £3.70 of my finest pounds to park for about 3 hours. Luck was on my side however as the machine didn’t except any coins (Parking is free for National Trust members).
