We had just bought a MGB or as the seller called it "a chromium plated tart 
trap". I was my first sports car (and my last) we were driving down a quiet 
country road doing about 40. A black car came roaring up behind me and 
followed for about a mile, eventually, yes you've guessed the red lights 
flashed and I pulled over. Officer John Back, I've a lousy memory, funny how 
you remember some names, said "do you know there is a 30 limit on this road, 
documents please.
And address." OK, I reply, Tishomingo, Sunningdale Ave, etc. His face lights 
up, "Tishomingo Blues, I've got Bunk playing that" and a ten minute 
conversation ensues.  I recognise a kindred spirit and my confidence rises 
that everything was going to be ALL RIGHT. Thank you sir he says as he hands 
me a summons.

Funny how it puts you off coppers.
