I couldn't believe the sheer gall of the man ,here he was in my car , soaking wet and steaming up the place and he wants me not to smoke!<br /><br />To cut a much longer story short he was dropped off again a few miles from where he had startedon a very dark, very wet piece of road.<br /><br />Had he put up with my "horrible dirty habit", I would have taken him ALL the way to his destination which would have been 10 miles out my way (but hey I'm like that),I had the satisfaction of seeing him drenched by being stood too close to the large puddle i'd chosen to drop him off in, by white van man doin 70 odd as he passed him moments after I'd pulled away...a good solid wave of water, happy now you little git!Indyanhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974285525646225459noreply@blogger.com
