A kick in the pumps

Yesterday's trip to the Royal Armouries was certainly memorable but, sadly, not for the reason we would have wished.

Actually, it was an effing disaster.

The picture above of our visitors from Oz, Graham (left) and his little boy Cleve, gives you a subtle hint about what happened.

On the positive side, at least our car broke down very close to Yorkshire's renowned exhibition of the instruments of death and mutilation, meaning our guests could continue with their visit.

Also, it only took about an hour for the breakdown truck to arrive.

And when it did, our driver man Nick was both helpful and entertaining.

Despite an in-cab warning that no CD player was available for use...

...this was not in fact the case, cheering up all passengers on-board.

But if there was a lesson to be learnt it was this.

Never put diesel in your petrol car.
