Courts are heeded then a whole bookfull of unfeasible excuses (or mitigation as the lawyers have it) are likely to disappear into history The expert beaks simply won't be taken in by them. The same goes for the great lost wheel "mystery". As soon as some bright spark finds the definitive answer as to why wheels come off wagons then a whole bunch of so-called experts are likely to be looking for a new job.
Which reminds me of the chap who was driving along a lonely cliff road and spots a man crying by the kerbside. On asking what's troubling the poor fellow the man replies: "I've just seen a bus load of lawyers drive over the edge..." "But that's great news" says the first man, "Why on earth are you crying?" Came the reply: "There were three empty seats!"
Cl The editor would like to disassociate himself from the above remarks and go on the record to say that all lauyers are wonderful warm-hearted people who are often deeply misunderstood—honest... 0 t's going to be a busy hank holiday weekend. Like my colleagues I will of course be making my way to Peterborough for Commercial Motor Truckfest (see preview, page 56) but with spring in the air vintage enthusiasts are bringing their ageing CVs out of hibernation.
Southern vintage enthusiasts will no doubt be heading for the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society show at Crystal Palace, which is of course the starting point for the society's annual London-to-Brighton run. Up in sunny Northamptonshire the Rushden Historical Vehicle Society will be hosting its annual rally and cavalcade at Lancaster Farm, Higham Ferrers. Among five Scamrnell Show tractors that are due to make an appearance is this beauty, which celebrates its golden jubilee this year.
It's pictured here supplying power to Wigfields Coronation Speedway.
Here's to a sunny, enjoyable weekend, whichever event takes your fancy.
