This is the Central Scrutinizer....
Hi, It's me again...........
I'm sure that you are all eagerly awaiting the next exciting episode so here
we go...
Well 1 of the 2 missing bags finally arrived at Manchester at about 3;30Pm
by which time British Airways had most generously offered me 1 free coffee
for wasting my entire day. Of course it was not the bag that had any useful
clothes in it. It was the one with my Goodwood's idiot clobber (Kilt etc) so
although I was glad that I wasn't a couple of grand out (Kilts are rather
expensive) it wasn't much use for day to day use.
Hertz, on the other hand were quite repentant about not having my car so
they upgraded me to some rather flash new Toyota (3.5 litre turbo with
electronic everything & GPS navigation system). Goes like the bloody
clappers it does. Didn't take me long to break the 100 mph mark again. I
like the roads over here & I haven't got onto a motorway yet. 150 her we
come.
I have spent a most pleasant morning booking in to the quack here in
Donington & getting registered as a temporary resident so I could get some
replacement drugs for the diabetes etc. Yes folks, the original ones are in
the missing bag as well. Just the sort of fun you really look forward to
when travelling. The bloody bag will probably turn up today now that I have
spent a fortune on drugs/clothes etc.
Had a rather decent Trout for munchies last night. Looking forward to
raiding the Indian joint here in Donington tonight. Easily the best Indian &
have had anywhere. One of the reasons I keep coming back to this little
town. Apart from the cars that is........
Ah well, that'll do for now.
