Early yesterday morning, I dropped my lad off to New St station. On the way back, in the pitch dark, driving along the Aston ????expressway , I noticed a car joining the road, behind me, with no headlights or sidelights on. Sighing to myself, I thought ‘ah well, this is Brum’ and feeling a little more tolerant than usual, I almost sympathised with the driver, imagining that he or she was some poor soul who had got up for work, discovered the fuses had gone, and unable to afford a taxi, and desperate for the day’s wages, had to take the risk and drive anyway,
When I looked in my rear view mirror, I noticed that the car had a glow of light around it, a bit like very dim neon- strange, I thought. Then the car overtook me and I saw that it had a set of Christmas lights wrapped around the whole car- I kid you not - a full set of fairy lights.
As I say, only in Brum- if you can top that, I’d love ve to hear it.,
