tax done. £23 a month. Job jobbed.

Now excuse me for the lousy collection pics. I'm sitting here in Ireland and I'm doing this semi-remotely. I have a friend "MT" who happens to work 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off and fortunately, he happens to be on his fortnight off. So a three-way conversation is set up with me, him and vendor.

Amazing what you can do with technology these days. /oldmanpatter

Vendor also heads over to gov.uk and sorts out V5C change.

In the meantime, I head off to work.

WhatsApp co-ordination goes well and initial collection is achieved at around teatime.

First news from MT is at 20:33. He is at Carlisle after a quick McD's and a fag run to ASDA. I wonder about the smokes as he reportedly bought some earlier ("B&H Sky Blue" - WTF?1? - he told me they were cheapest at WH Smith, Waverley) Also mentioned was first fill up. I take it he wasn't at a supermarket as it was £88.

21:19 report: he's stuck in stationary traffic on the A74(M) because accident ahead. See's three fire engines go past. Followed by a further specialist cutting one shortly after.

01:14 report: still here, been 4hrs. Apparently southbound car flipped over barrier and hit two northbound cars. Messy.

02:20 report: Road still closed, finally gets turned round but still sitting stationary albeit facing t'other way.

05:51 report: Got home 05:30. Off to his kip.

Collection thread resumes tomorrow morning...hopefully with more cheerful news.

At least it's back in Scotland. ;)

Albeit temporarily, before you get back on the ferry!

Or are you going to be keeping it in a lockup here as your holiday car?
