The trouble with cars...

Lestrade venting his anger

Cars are brilliant! They get you from A to B with no waiting around, no ques, no standing around in the rain or blistering heat and no stress...well on a good day anyway; when there are no traffic jams, no road hogs and no engine trouble. Infact cars can be a tonne of fun OR a nightmare!

A sort of friend of mine who works at Scotland yard often takes his frustrations out on his car...strange, but true!

One major problem with driving on your own even with a satellite navigation system, is the real danger of becoming LOST - or temporarily misplaced - as the case may be. In the case of my boss (resident of 221b Baker Street) he is NEVER lost! That is because he is exceptionally perceptive and stores multiple maps in his mind Palace.

If you do however have some trouble with your car, you may want to consider the following:

1. Getting break down cover with a reputable company

2. Get to know a good car mechanic and garage

3. Buy a Haynes manual for your own car and teach yourself some D.I.Y

4. Get yourself an up to date A-Z for the area you need

5. Buy a Tom Tom or Satelite Navigation System
