The Viking

said he would bring the tree to the recycling centre.

Grand so - sez I

Put it on top of the car - sez I

I will go into the house and look for some bungee cords to secure it to the car roof - sez I

Mum, like the good woman you are, can you not be all day looking. I have things to do, places to go etc - sez he

I won’t be a minute - sez I

Couldn’t find the damn bungee cord. But got an old washing line and thought that would do the trick. Bring it outside to give to son

Except

There was the car gone

He drove to the Recycling Centre steering the wheel with left hand whilst holding tree through open window with right hand.
