bunnIn Tavistock yesterday, we parked near an array of elderly cars. Not, on the whole, ancient cars - cars about my age, or perhaps 10 years older.
I was delighted to see that one of the two elderly Rovers had a number of Werther's Original sweets on the dashboard. If I were writing fiction and included one of those Rovers, I'm not sure I would have the nerve to include Werther's Original, it would seem just too much. I immediately rushed over to the other Rover to check it for Werthers. Sadly there were none - but even better, there was a tin of pipe tobacco, and a wooden pipe!
Sometimes it's nice to have your expectations confirmed.
