Can anyone guess who fitted them to the roof of my van?

Driver's responsibility to check.

last week, on holiday, our coach passed by a truck which had lost a shed
load of loose planks from his load.Â* Fortunately they had all fallen
onto the shoulder and not the carriageway.

didn't stop to see how he got his load sorted.

Once upon a time I was folliwng my sister up a German autobahn when a
picnic table and chairs badly strapped to the motorhome flew off in the
fast lane

I pulled over, held up my hands and waved, and two German truck drivers
stopped, and blocked the autobahn whilst I cleared up the mess on the
road and shovelled the remains into the camper and duly left.

I expected that to be the end of the matter, but I had not accounted for
my sister.

My sister, has a degree in modern langauges, and made her money
translating for NATO and the EU . Her second husband is a German
EU/NATO/ bureaucrat, ex Nazi youth, as were all in his generation from
Silesia. They both utterly Believe in Germany, The Rule of Law and the
EU. My sister also Believes in the Dangers Of Nuclear Power, Climate
Change and What is Being Hidden From Us, is a rampant Vegan,and has
sired a son who is such a snowflake that he now lives in Islington in
his dippy wife's parent's house. Her mother was a producer at the BBC
and her father is a minor academic. They all support Corbyn, the greens,
are hunt saboteurs and Dont Eat Meat. The son recently went on a
meditation course to try and solve his Guilt Problem because his
grandparents were Nazis (who wasn't, in Germany, in 1940?)

So what did the stupid cow do? She reported *herself* for having an
unsafe load, and paid a hefty fine!

No one could read her number plate - she was well up the road.
Mine was a British number plate anyway


Interestingly I quizzed her over Chernobyl at that time. "The government
is covering it all up"

"Would that be the same government that you 100% support in putting up
windmills? Why are they not covering up the truth about climate change,
if they are covering up the truth about Chernobyl?"

It seems a degree in modern languagees does not equip one to deal with
logical contradictions...

I know ALL about snowflakes and champagne socialists...
