Scrappy Mondays


You won't believe it but influencers like me are actually paid to spend time at places like this while you have to go to work. Was a bad start tho' because I came across a low bridge enroute and had to reverse a 40-foot trailer back to the intersection in the rush-hour. British motorists are indulgent in such circs, whereas in the US you'd be shot dead... leaving a semi in the way and no-one to move it.

This though is where your tinnies go to their final resting place before being shipped to India now that we'd be struggling to smelt a Mars bar here in the UK. The place is full of flies though, attracted to whatever was left in the tins, and on a happier note this actually attracts swallows... a long way here tho' from the setting for Swallows and Amazons.

On an unhappier note the cab is now full of flies, a pair shagging on my dashboard.
