Evening all

I have had a cull of trombone play along books. Thirteen of them in fact. They have been on eBay for ages. The average price for each book was about £15....so you can work the maths out. I started at £40 ...they didn't sell. Down to £20...not a sniff. Then put bid from £8....oh yes loads of folk start to watch item...all poised for that last second... Finger hovering over the bid button....3-2-1....and sold ...for £8!!!. The good news ..the buyer lived only a few miles away in a sleepy village called Butterly ( utterly aww couldn't resist). So i arranged to hand deliver. Using Daphne my sat nag, i set off. All was well until half a mile to destination. One island turn left or right. Turn left Daphne shouts in a voice with an american twang.... Trouble is...left turn takes you into police HQ....no matter what i did...i was directed by a bored satellite...into police territory. Massive signs...police vehicles only...i continued.....warning police only past this point ...i continued ....sign....you will be arrested.....driving....sign...danger of being tazered....courage drive.... Sign....the police helicopter is now above you....turns out...at the end of the road was a brand new housing estate...but no signs telling you so.....turns out the trombone player who lived there was a teacher and not a bobby. Turns out he had heard of Graham Woodhouse...but when i introduced myself he said ..who? With petrol money and eBay fees... I should make 50p
