Incredible But True

Well, according to the BBC this is true anyway.

 A motorist was stopped by police on the M6 in Cheshire on Sunday after he had been out during the lockdown collecting some cheap windows he had purchased from eBay in Salford.
It seems the police found his wife was in the boot of the car as she "could not fit in the vehicle" for the return journey to Coventry.
Heaven help us.

    At least this made me laugh (it wouldn't have happened if I had been involved).

      Funny but still rather disturbing that someone actually thought that was OK to do in the first place.

    True! BBC web news has aan article on this - with a copy of a North West Motorway Police tweet. Driver had gone from Coventry to Salford to collect windows bought for £15 on ebay. No room in the car for wife on the return journey!!

    I think she must have been holding the windows so they didn't break. I recall nineteen of us once going to a rock festival in the back of a Luton van. It makes you wonder what is in cars boots and the back of vans?

    If it had been us it would have been me sitting in the boot of the car, or maybe clinging to a roof rack.

      Roof rack sounds better. Lots of fresh air up there.

    I hope it was just one of those things you laugh about later and wonder why the hell you did it, like Dave and his rock concert. I remember sticking someone in the boot on the way back from a party...100 years ago. At 18 you think it's just part of the party

      I think this guy was an adult. Well, physically if not mentally.

    What's the big deal? My wife always travels in the boot as I find this reduces unnecessary talking. It also means that the front passenger seat is free when I pick up my mistress.

      So the age of chivalry is not dead after all. How heart warming.

    One of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" moments. I've had a few of those. Thanks for the laugh!

      Probably not quite as insane as this though?

    The only unbelievable bit about that was that he had put his wife in the boot.

      Exactly. What sort of mind would even consider doing that!

    Many years ago I was taking my daughter and some of her friends to a rave in Stevenage. Another of her friends rang at the last moment begging for a lift too; she was allowed to come - as long as she sat in the boot! We did remove the parcel shelf first...
