W: Oh, Jackie, I’ve had such a terrible day.
M: You look exhausted. What on earth have you been doing?
W: Oh, I’ve been such a fool! You just wouldn’t believe what I’ve done.
M: I would, I would. Come on...Where’s you been?
W: I’m dying to tell someone. I’ve been down to London, you see. OK, I thought I’d be very sensible, so I’d drive down to the Underground on the outskirts of London, leave the car and go in by tube. All right? Very sensible. Yes? OK. So I drove down to London and I parked my car by the tube station and I got the tube into London: Fine! All right?
M: Well, sounds like it.
W: So far, so good. Right. I came back out of London and got out of the tube.
M: And you forgot the car?
W: No, no, I didn’t forget the car. I couldn’t find the car, Jackie. It’d gone.
M: You’re kidding.
W: No, no, really, it’d gone. I walked out...happily out of the tube, you know, over to where it was and I looked and it was a red Mini and mine’s green, so I thought "Oh no". So having panicked a bit, I rang the police, you see, and this lovely, new little policeman...a young one came out to help. That’s it, yes...buttons shining...big smile...came down to help, so I said, "I’ve lost my car. It’s been stolen." And I took him to see it and everything and...
M: You mean where it wasn’t.
W: And sure enough, it wasn’t there. And then he coughed a bit and he went very quiet.., and he took me back into the tube station and out the other side into the other car park.., and there was my car, Jackie, parked in the other tube station car park, the other side of the station, because there are two exits, you see, so I walked out of an exit not knowing, there were two and it was in the other one.
M: Oh Lesley. And was he ever so cross?
W: He was livid, Jackie. He went on and on at me and I didn’t know what to do. It was just frightful. I went red and just shut up and said "Sorry" all the time.
M: Jumped in your car and left.
W: Oh, it was awful. I’m never doing that again ever.
