A transport driver was enjoying his fried ham, bread and tea in a "caff" when three leather-jacketed, space-helmeted toughs arrived. They elbowed him around and pretty well leant on him, but three to one seemed a bit much so he quietly finished his meal and left. The biggest tough lounged across to the cafe proprietor: • "Did he pay for all that?" he asked. "Sure," said the man behind the counter. "Huh; not much of a man, is he?"
"I don't know about that, but he's not much of driver; he's just backed an eightwheeler over three motorbikes."
I hasten to acknowledge the story to Phil Ives, managing director of Coachwork Conversions Ltd., whose fund of humour was delighting those present at the unveiling of the company's new light Luton van.
