If you happen to go up to Bletchley and get your ECU flashed by TB, and then the battery goes flat and you get the jump leads from the boot, and while putting the leads back you find a bag of pistachio nuts and you are hungry, DO NOT attempt to eat the pistachio nuts while driving back to London, because the bag may rapture and the pistachio could fall into the gap between the driver's seat and the armrest, blocking the seat rails and getting stuck in the pretensioner connector which will take you one hour and forty five minutes to painstakingly remove using various long, flexible, and sharp instruments, not to mention your fingers, and if on top of that you do this while parked in front of your office in Kings Cross at 21:45 at night, and then go into the office for two minutes to wash your hands, you could even get a ticket from an insomniac traffic warden which will cost you £50. So there, you’ve been warned!

Well it was still worth it!

[Auto Addict]

Don't like nuts, so don't have a problem

[Markie]

....and eating is banned in mine  

Not good Markjay - apparently traffic wardens dont have hearts

They were'nt just plain nuts, they were pistachios, not that you would know the difference - it takes a nut to know one

Not laughing about your day, Markjay, but had to laugh at Markiec's comment...    

[Del Boy]

Sorry to hear you got a ticket MJ  
But i am suprised you dont have hand wipes in the box of bit and pieces you carry about  

I have a packet of 'jungle' wipes (tho any will do   ) in my passenger door pocket for just such occasions of sticky/dirty hands. I dont like driving with dirty hands  

[Taxi_Driver]

....and eating is banned in mine  

Eating and drinking is not allowed in mine....reinforced with a sticker in the back and one in the front.....unless its the driver of course  

[Chopsdad]

Tough luck Mark.  I'll cross that of my list of things to do  

[Lawman]

Despite the chain of events....most importantly....Did you enjoy your pistachios?  


I always have money falling into the tracks....Horrible situation to be in!

[TheBoy]

I'm sorry Markjay, but I couldn't help but chuckle - such a comedy of errors...   ...I bet you couldn't believe it when you saw the ticket....

[Tony H]

Should of bought the ready shelled ones
