I was out on my bike yesterday afternoon and saw this trundling towards me in South London

I learned... According to original Vanden Plas Coachbuilder records, this car was originally fitted with Body No. 1300 with a standard type Sports 4-seater; primrose / blue; Delivery 8/1926.

This pic reminded me of a hilarious sales dinner out at ' School Dinners ' in London's West End in the 1980's.
The current politically correct ' snow flake ' society would have had The School Dinners St. Trinian's girls imprisoned
for their ingenious use of a pot of yogurt on our MD's private part after they pulled down his pants
and tied him to the table with their school ties and fishnet stockings.
That was just for starters.
" Would you care for our Chefs special 'Strawberry Whip' for pudding ? inquired the Head Girl.
" f---ing untie me you bitches " our MD replied.
" Only after pudding you naughty rude man " she replied and whipped him until srawberry pink.
Amazing what £ 50 and a point in the right direction to the doorman could achieve back then.
Nobody got a bonus that year.

Because I took it and it was there about then : ) (year might not be 100% accurate - might be later than this?)

It was either the A307 or A240 approaching the town fron the south, with the river on the left. I can't remember 100% unless i went back.
They were in a garden on the right. I saw them most days when I was waiting at the traffic lights, which is when i took this picture, although thinking about it now, it might have been early 2000-2005.

Due to the inconsistent reliability of the witness for the defence , the prosecution requests this case be dismissed M'lord.
