Marco.

That was for a thousand of them.

Yep, those were the days when I got back to my Golf GTI at Glastonbury, to find the passenger window smashed, CD player missing ( a pull-out type that everybody stuck under the seat because carrying it round was a PITA), also the days when my parcel shelf went missing because it had two bin-lid size speakers, and about 40 CDs.

Everyone got their stuff nicked in the 80s, but as you say, replacements were readily available down the pub. No one ever offered me my own stolen gear though, which would have been nice

It wasn't unknown for blokes offering knocked off stuff to get a good thumping in my local. Thieves weren't popular.

You had to go to the right pub though. Or the wrong one depending on your point of view.

You didn't get it in my regular because all the coppers drank there. You'd get the blokes selling seafood though. 'Have you got crabs mate?' That never got old.

No, they don't - but for that the money would have had to have been in a Waitrose carrier bag, or perhaps a Liberty's store bag. Essex girls are very discerning.

Worst night (and day of my life). I was woken at 02.00 to find my dog (Tia) having a seizure.
Took her to the emergency vet where she was given blood tests and sedation. I called back this morning and was told that bloods were all fine, so likely cause of fits was neurological.
Vet advised that it was "too early" to be thinking of putting Tia down, so she is now back home - she has had a couple of minor episodes during the day, so I am preparing myself for another rough night.

Really sorry to hear that. Guy, and as an animal lover who's been in that situation before, I sympathise with what you're going through.

Anyway, I hope Tia gets better soon and you can enjoy a more relaxed and stress-free day, and also night's sleep.

Marco.

Cheers Marco - much appreciated

Hope your doggie will be OK Guy.
