Digital Cameras and Family Do's
As we had nearly half a tank of fuel in the Focus (courtesy car), and it was on empty when we picked it up. We decided to use up some fuel first! So first stop was Stockport County football ground, I knew the general location, so of we set. We went passed a school were I used to work (Ground staff), "yikesss" where has it gone? What was part of the grounds is now a Cinema, and Bowling Ally, and where the school building used to be is a hotel (turns out they sold half the land, to fund a super new school). Across the road is a much changed Refreshments Establishment (Pub) were I spent many a Thursday afternoon, getting refreshment (and which was the scene of the very first time I got legless, and were I got legless celebrating my 21st).
well finally onto the main road leading into Stockport, and as we were going through traffic lights, Nette shouted there's a sign saying SCFC, which was pointing to the right. OK hang a right into the car park of Furniture to Go, and back the way we came,to make a left turn (at this point, I can already hear Mark & Joan piddling themselves, when reading this)up the road we go, and another place from my past had gone!
"I worked for a carpet store, as a Carpet Porter, one day, whilst in the warehouse, the fire alarm went, as we were pushed for time, getting ready for the next days fittings, my oppo and I carried on! The store manager came running up a literally bragged us out! Turns out the local ejits, had smashed the "Gas Main" feeding the building, which was on the outside of the building, and approx 6 ft away from us! When we got outside there was fire engines, and the Police had sealed the area!"
Back to todays events, up the road we go, looking out for the flood lights (how else do you find a football ground?), all of a sudden there they are, once again we'd missed the turning (all right M&J) so turned into a gateway to do a U turn, finally turned left and there was the ground. Quickly grabbed the photo, as the Holy Rollers (jehovas witness)were out in gang force! Up the road turn right and head back to the main road, and into a dead end (will someone go and pick M&J, up off the floor), back the way we came and finally back onto the main rd. Off to the Motorway, and head of to Man U.
Ah Man U, the most famous football team in the world, and according to most, one of the greatest. Not only were we there to get some photos, but to get my daughters birthday present.they have a display on one wall in the shop, with a full team of maniqunes on the wall in full kit for photos, so posed Her in front and grabbed the photo, then it was time to shop! After looking around the shop, she finally decided on a hooded top! Whist we were there, a mother with her kids came in. She left Nette and the security guard, gob smacked! Why? She was only wearing a Manchester city scarf, in the Man U shop! When the security guard approached her, he got "I'm not taking it off, I'm off to the match"! Oh and this was Stephanies, 98th cache.
OFF next to Priory to pick up the car, Nette went into pick up the keys, they had a written report waiting on the car, after a thorough check up everything was ok (as the car is tons better, they sorted out the problems without realizing). Whilst Nette was busy, I took Trixie for a a quick walk, and had a look at the new Kia's (Sedonnas & Sorrentos). Nette opened the car doors, and let Trixie in, then went and asked the sales rep if he would open up a couple of them for us.
Had a look in the Sedonna first! Nette got in, whilst I opened up the door for Stephanie, and there we hit a big problem! Nette siting in the passenger seat, was touching the roof with her head, this one is a no go! Right go and have a look at the Sorrento! Opened up and got in, the first impression was how much space there was. After adjusting the seat to the right driving position, Stephanie who usually sits behind me, had enough room to straighten her legs! A bit more looking round, and yes this is the car of our dreams!
Back at mums and time to get ready for my brother and his family, who were coming for Dinner. After they arrived, I started sorting out for Stephanies 99th cache, the ISS locationless cache. Oh "bl***y hell", I deleted all the pictures on the camera. To say that I was peed off, was a understatement! Time for dinner, half way through, and I grabbed Stephanie, posed her in front of the clock and grabbed the photo. ISS grabbed! And now we were ready for the big day (Sunday)!
