Following an interminable delay northbound this afternoon prior to the
Dartford Toll Tunnel/Bridge, I was preceded by a pair of middle aged
ladies in an 04 reg Ford Focus.
Notwithstanding the clear and unequivocal signage before the Toll booths
that ".. cards are not accepted.." they waved a piece of blue plastic
out of the driver's door.
Argument and fumbling in handbags ensued. I - being on a serious time
schedule to get to the bank before it closed - became totally
exasperated. As did the 100+ vehicles behind me.. And the tollbooth
attendant..
Soooo.... if it's your missus that I gave a quid to in order to
dissipate the acid build up in my gut, please donate it to the RNLI.
(And yes - her lineage from a strain of Hereford cattle is undoubted, as
is the paucity of essential matter between her ears.)
Or use the nugget as a down payment for a divorce. If she's that short
of money after a Bluewater trip you're in trouble, pal..
