Wrong number!
Loooong day. All day in Skye, then left and had a few problems with the car en route. Stopped in Fort William to let it cool then fueled it up and was driving through Fort William when suddenly the dreaded blue flasher went on behind me. Stopped, wound down the window and this baby faced cop said " nothing serious madame but please step into the back of our car"
Now at that moment two things went through my mind....A) do I stop the engine only to have bother trying to start the bloody thing orB) do I leave the engine running & the car in neutral knowing full well that my handbrake was not up to speed. Chose option B) and went into the back of cop car where they said "your car is coming up as not insured" "see its coming up as being a Fiat and not a Hyundai for insurance but on DVLA its coming up as a Hyundai, please explain" WEll easy, I had just changed the reg plated yesterday, I had also put on the new tax disc but had failed to tell my insurance company . How ever to verify this they asked me what the previous reg no was...well I hadnt a clue but I did know the plates were more than likley still on my kitchen table so I asked could I phone my husband. At the same time I was sweating the bloody car didnt roll back and hit the cop car!!!
They agreed but were gobsmacked when I launched into Gaelic and to make matters worse flaming hubs was on a call out so couldnt tell me what the bloody number was either! I came off the phone and said my husband "was tucking some woman in" By this the cops must have thought this ones on the whacky backy. However they finally understood what was up and gave me a wee docket to take along with my revised insurance to the nearest cop shop within the next 7 days. Why do these things happen to me?
Finally got home after 11pm now nursing a very large hot toddy
Happy blipping all
