Straddled across a road to back into a yard and pressed the R button. Hear the usual clock but then nothing, the engine just revs, albeit under some load by the sound of it. Try going forward, nothing, engine off and on… Nothing.
Marvellous. Guess the clutch has gone, boss will love that.
By now every man and his dog is queued up either side of me in thier cars, but sweet fa I can do about it.
Quick thinking I nip into the yard I was trying to get into and ask them for a pull from a forklift, thankfully the manage to pull it back off the road, so now I’m blocking thier yard instead.
Just waiting on the recovery.
Thank goodness there is a petrol station down the road, coffee and sarnies a plenty.

Didn’t work out to well for Tony Blair though did it.
That’s a joke - right?
TB bailed out just when things were falling apart. Since then he has made millions in the US and elsewhere. He was supposed to be a ‘Middle East Envoy’ but I read that they more or less paid him to stay out of the way.
Things got a lot better for him - the rest of us paid the price.
