A view into the wonderful world of mad and party hard 20's, 30's and 40's people. Hear about our travels and what we get up to in the gun crime capital of England! Please feel free to make comments and check out those archives, I feel sad that they are already slipping off the front page!

News of Freddie


Oh dear...

Happily driving along the Dutch motorway singing we make great pets, we realise that there is a loud bump, bump, bump and the van is vibrating so much I can't see the car behind in the wing mirror. We decide to exit the motorway and as we slow down and turn a corner we hear scrapping metal and our passenger back wheel flies past us. We act fast and drive onto a grass verge which helps us to stop, all very scary. Thankfully the lovely Dutch Politie Police where there to help us. You know what? The bloody, buggery, bastard man at Langley Mill (MOT untrustyworthy man) didn't put the wheel nuts on properly and they had been working their way loose ever since.

So...we are staying in a hotel and crying over the fact that the bill at the ever so posh VW garage is 1000 euros!!! Please say a prayer for us.

Well given that it is constantly pouring with rain here and we are running out of money, when we get our lovely Freddie back we will be making our way directly to the southern part of Europe to enjoy the beach, sun and beer we can afford....

Love to you allxx

At least you are both safe, it could have been a lot worse. You can now continue knowing that the wheels on freddie will go round and round, make sure they tighten up the rest.
Safe journey.
