It's been so long
And I'm not sure I remember what to do.
I seem to remember that the main point is to utter drivel, but with a certain observational comedy contained within.
So, let's look at petrol.
As we all know, the cost of said commodity is pretty damn high these days, and I've got a car that drinks it quickly when I drive a bit fast, which seems to be all the time these days. I have, however, in the last couple of weeks, had occasion to borrow other people's cars, usually to do with capacity issues with my own or someone wanting a shiny convertible for a hot summers day. Now, I'm not sure if this is planned, but I'm sure it can't be due to the lack of forewarning, but every time I step in another car the petrol gauge is showing either on or below the red mark. I actual fact, the Petrol warning light is lit on most occasions. I personally can't drive with the light on, or even close to the red, due to my panic about running empty. I also see no point in putting less than a full tank in when I stop for a refuel. So, I've spent about £300 in the last week in petrol, and half of that in other peoples cars. I'm not really complaining, really I'm not, but I do wonder if I'm the only person on the planet that actually buys fuel. In which case I'm personally responsible for all the pollution and environmental changes it's causing.
So, sorry about that.
