  • Jonny and Richard have spotted an absolutely wretched Prius for sale and one of them wants to buy it. Also in this episode, a James May sandwich anecdote, dangerous cake feeders, academic people with no tyres on their cars, and what on earth goes on at a seed swap? Episode 96.

    I had a friend and she was a consultant for the bank of England - mathematically predicting future economic growth . She couldn't work out how to make cheese on toast so laid the toaster on its side and then loaded it up with a bread and cheese . And the practical operation of a washing machine just blew her mind .

    My entry for the worst car for sale advert was posted to a group on Facebook called 'Car audio spares wheels & parts in bristol and cars vans and bike for sale'
    It read; "Selling my bmw, no problems with it at all. Cat-b for blood contamination but was not in accident. Previous owner was shot while driving. Pm me for more details."
    It was a fully murdered (no pun intended) BMW E46 coupe.

    Never emptying the Hoover. That would be my son then. Went around his place at Christmas and we were tidying up so his girlfriend got the hoover out. I said this doesnt seem to be working very well. Yeh its always been like that. Opened it up and the container contained some new kind of super compacted material of massive density. He never thought to empty it for over 1yrs.

      We had a painter/decorator in to do my bedroom - he came with great recommendations for his high quality work.
      He called me in to check it was all correct. It was better than I had hoped.
      The floor and furniture was fully sheeted, to protect against drips, which wasn't needed because he was so anal about his work. He also asked for the vacuum cleaner so he could pick up the invisible dust he'd left behind.
      I dutifully brought the hoover and left it with him. I could hear him busy with it.
      After about half an hour he called me in to explain that the hoover appeared to be faulty. I took a look.
      I could see the problem. The bag was full. As was the hose between the bag and the rotating beater head. And it was all carpet.
      It was a shag pile carpet (not my idea) and he'd put the ride height on its lowest and the power on full.
      I didn't like that carpet much, but I preferred it with at least a bit of pile on it.

    Academic types - if anything, you tend to understate how mad they are. My mum, for example... PhD, fellowships up the wazoo, but can't cook, hasn't touched a washing machine in years (always had us blokes to do that for her), personally untrustworthy and duplicitous, a pathological liar and narcissistic multiple personality disorder sufferer, a psychologically abusive bully who instilled self-loathing in her kids from an early age... a total basket case who should never have been allowed to marry or breed. Likes her cars though, had a Mini, a Citroen LNA, two Peugeot 205s and a string of BMWs (most recently a 630ci drophead).

    I was standing on a footpath waiting to cross the road when......
    A Metro approached at about 20MPH. I noticed that a little old lady was 'driving'. That's what you call what someone in the driver's seat of a moving vehicle is doing, though in this case I'm not sure it was truly appropriate.
    She was doing the full praying mantis routine and was wearing thick glasses. And a hat.
    I'm amazed I noticed anything at all due to the enormous shower of sparks and the sound of tortured metal on the road - the nearside front wheel has NO TYRE ON IT AT ALL!
    Not even a shred of rubber - she must have driven for a considerable distance.
    Shirley the massive vibration through the steering wheel must have been at least slightly annoying. Also the convoy of cars behind her, stuck at 20MPH. The first two of them were beeping their horns at her regularly.
    I think that I might have stopped to check underneath the car just in case a dead horse was trapped underneath (the bit causing the sparks), or some other strangeness.
    It takes a good thirty seconds to drive to the end of my road - I watched in fascination as this Metro slowly disappeared around the corner and out of my life.
    The ending mustn't have been dramatic - there was nothing on the local news (or newspaper). But the memory lives on with me.
    That shower of sparks was impressive.

They have a twenty foot high Damian Hirst bronze called 'Charity' - it's a recreation of the little girl with leg braces, carrying a collection box (it's a Damian Hirst, so there's a twist) that was common on our streets in the 70's. It's a bit....imposing.
