NO Humbug?

NO - not even a Baaaah!  After Jerra dashed out last night to the aid of my V50 battery valiantly trying to emulate a Pancake.  I set off to jump-start it - NOGO not even power to allow steering wheel to turn.
Result - marvellous roadblock, perpendicular to Curb, and at bottom of a slope I couldn't push back up; an "old" J. G. Johnstone customer did stop & offer to help though.
Car started - SO -I took my usual charge after flat run 
thus:- J40 - M6 - J41 - A6 - Home, stopping en route to shoot Blencathra and a couple of Sheep.  It seems like only last week the were new Lambs; now the look about "half-waxed" already?
