Yes, I realized that later. Well, it was still a funny story, but I'm sure it wasn't at the time. Push chair must be a stroller for the kids? Glad it was "only" a quarter mile. I recall having a flat tire one day on the freeway 18 years ago, called home, where hubby #1 was resting comfortably on his couch, remote firmly in hand. Called from my cell phone and he told me to call so-and-so to come help out. He was too "busy" and didn't want to change the tire for me. I was maybe 2 miles from home. That's my only flat-tire/lost wheel story... You've got me beat. <g> Jan G. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Mellie" <Mel@i12.com> Reply-To: BLACKSHEEP-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com To: BLACKSHEEP-CHAT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BSChat] Re: British movies Date: Wed, 15 May 2002 21:57:19 +0100 HanG, it WASN'T a punchline its true!!!, only had the 2 boys at the time in the car with me, had no pushchair, had to leave the car abandoned in the middle of the road drive shaft sticking in the tarmac. walk a quarter mile home to get the pushchair and the Jack, walk back to the car put the whel back on taking a nut off each of the others to get the car home! I was not a happy bunny, and have never had fancy wheels on a car since nor chrome wheel nuts! Kids dad was not impressed at teh damage to the car, our friends were hysterical with laughter!

I sent a text message from my "cellphone" (mobile to us brits) to several of my friends, telling them that I needed them to call me urgently and I had a weak signal and could not dial out, the message said to ask f r Elixabeth who runs the place and she would come and get me! ( irecieved this same message from someone else originally) followed by the phone number, so my friends duly dialled the number to get a recorded message from BUCKINGHAM PALACE" telling them it was a hoax, and this line was being disconnected, but it was genuinely Buck House LOLCLOL Mellie IBSSG How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?
