Dumb Americans.

Yeah, its a female one too...... Little Timmy is advertised on Pets4Homes amongst other sites and just got a message from Reyna Ruiz..... Can I have your address so I can come and see Timmy and is he 400 dollars? Email and phone number is added.... 571-***-****. Being a nosey fecker and brighter than yer average yank too I googled the area code. Virginia, USA.    It says Wisbech Cambridgeshire on the ad and theres even a helpful button you can press, 'show on map'. Map shows Eastern England surrounded by sea and Virginia is nowhere near any sea whatsoever! That Pound sign in front of the 400 should have given a clue as well but no. Perhaps its my fault, should have said near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom, (little island off the West coast of Europe).   Mind you, they probably dont know where Europe is either.

Maybe she's on holiday in Norfolk!

She will be mighty disappointed with the weather then. Talking of Norfolk I did the MG Norfolk Riviera Run last Thursday. Weather dry and quite mild really. We stopped at Happisburgh lifeboat station which bought back some memories. Donkeys years ago son in law had sold his boat and we agreed to take it from Wells next-the-sea to Lowestoft with purchaser and son on board. Well about half way inboard engine went bang. Not really a problem as it was a 26 foot sailing boat and we had favourable if fairly light winds so up go the sails...... 10 minutes later inshore lifeboat comes racing up and says do you have a problem Captain...... Well engines dead but we're making progress..... We had a distress call.... Turns out the passenger unknown to me had dialled 999! So passenger and son jump on lifeboat and off they go! What I should have done was just run it onto the beach and abandoned it, they had paid already lol but I am an Englishman and dont give up that easy. We never made it to Lowestoft but did get as far as Great Yarmouth where we ran out of wind and Yarmouth lifeboat towed us in and we just left it tied to the wall. No idea what happened next. Maybe its still there lol. Anyway pics by the lifeboat station og MGs. Mines the black one with the new second hand grey back bumper.

Is there a pub nearby? The last photo looks kind of deserted.

Pub??????? FFS this is Norfolk. Nowt nearby whatsoever. The lifeboat gets dragged through a gap in the dunes by a little tractor. My guess is if they get a shout in the Winter the lifeboat wont get in the sea for 20 minutes............  Note to self.
