Back in the 60s my Julia was at a showbiz party. An Irish guy approached her and said.... "Hello , I'm Con Cluskey" Julia " I don't think I know you" Cluskey "I'm, a Bachelor" Julia "Sorry my husband is waiting for me"  |

In 1965, I bought a little light blue moggy minor. It had a wobbly wheel, but we went all over in it. (Ignorance is dangerous).
It had no heater and we couldn't afford one, so my husband went to see his Gran.
He explained that it was freezing in the car and it needed a heater. He smiled to himself as she went upstairs.
He thought she was going to get the money. She came down with an old fashioned stone hot water bottle.

My Julia was a very talented person and could turn her hand to most things......except for navigating a car.
We have been lost in so many parts of the world but it was never her fault (of course)
One trip we got completely lost. I stopped the car. She poured over the map and eventually gave me instructions. I followed her route till it was obvious we were still lost. I stopped in a small village and asked directions , apparently we were going in the opposite direction from where we wanted to go. She consulted the map again and finally declared that the map had been printed upside down!

When I was map reading on a car journey, I got OH to turn down a road which led directly to a huge housing estate.
It took us ages to find the way out of it.
OH said," It's OK, I had a lot of petrol I needed to get rid of."
