You've driven up to the wild and windy sea in your Vauxhall Astra

  • You don't get out the car
  • You don't roll the window down to get some fresh breezy sea salty air
  • The wife in the passenger seat is unflasking a cup of Tetley's tea (tea-bags still in)
  • Your heads straight down into your puzzle book
  • The wife hands you a buttered bap with ham. And some cheesy Wotsits
  • The wife sits there slurping tea thro her false teeth.
  • Radio is switched on low to Classic FM.
  • The odour of a tired fart is expiring lamely on the backseat, inside the backside of your manky fat old dog.
  • The wife gets out her sudoku.
  • You don't look up or out the window; the wife doesn't look up or out the window.
  • No talking is happening. Only the sound of a fruit pastille being sucked.
  • Manky fat old dog is looking sadly out the window.
  • You aren't going to get out the car.
  • Manky fat old dog isn't going for a walk.
  • But he couldn't anyway. Arthritic legs.
  • An hour passed.
  • The sun was shining, the wind blowing, the sea was rolling in.
  • Never mind. Time to drive back now. Back to the bungalow.... put the heating on.....
