Anyhow ...pulls in & theres this Saffron Orange Volvo C70 (Wiv Private plates) parked outside ...Says to my lad "See that'd do fer yer mam" & wanders off into the auction .....
Bout an hour later (after sellin Pc's & desks & stuff) auctioneer says "LOT 203 you'll have seen it outside Saffron Orange Volvo C70" ....My Ears Pricked up then!!!!.....
So I had a quick punt ...(Got outbid by some "Other" person) not to be out done I shuves me hand in the air again & teks a quick peek round (T'other dude had fooked off) ......
