In a spin......
Me Dad made the first electric-car
from a duff Bond-Bug three-wheeler
he'd bought it with no engine
from some local wheeler-dealer
Then,with parts from a defunct wash-machine
he set about the job
and fitted the electric motor
and the original Programme-knob
and with a little bit more tidying
it was ready to be tested
and Dad-said he'd take it on his own
in case he got arrested
he set the knob to "Delicate"
and it poodled out the drive
then turned it 'round to "Super-Spin"
and the bugger came alive.......
we watched him pass the paper-shop
he was going like a rocket
and we reckon he'd just touched ninety-five
when the plug came out the socket.....

Our local Town is empty of people,almost all shops and businesses are shut and every day seems like a Sunday. Most of us now have more time on our hands than ever before and most people aren't making any money at t...
