There are silly things to do while driving and then there are sillier things. For instance, driving a minibus back from Loughborough on a Sunday afternoon, heading through the Welsh Valleys and watching the 'estimated remaining milage' drop from forty-four miles remaining to zero inside the distance of fifteen miles.
This can be worrying as on Sunday afternoons, in the Welsh Valleys, there aren't a lot of petrol stations that are open. Some are in fact so closed that they have been raised to the ground. You can therefore imagine my annoyance upon the bus coming to a stuttering stop in Aberdare. Especially with an open Tesco's petrol station two hundred yards down the road...
Luckily the very nice man from the AA came and saved us, so all's well that ends well!!
