It's embarrasing enough when your car breaks down in rush hour. Having to push it out the way, whilst everyone looks on and curses. Even more worrying if it catches fire.
So, the other morning on the way into work, I got stuck in traffic. Which was unusual even for rush hour in Stevenage. Until, off in the distance, a fire engine, police, and a smoking van appeared. Not something you can cope with, I guess. And Jules brother had the same problem a few years back, his van just bursting into flames at a petrol station.
Then I got alongside the van and noticed the company signs. It was a very well known fire alarm installation business. Whoops
