True... ?!


One of the classic urban legends. This story has been told in many versions , others involve large industrial machinery but all have the same old normally retired engineer curing the fault with a simple fix and charging a fortune for the repair.

Hi all, about 1973 I would occasionally deliver my son to Junior school on my way to work.  I had a Morris Traveller company car and it needed a new battery.  There was also a dodgy + terminal connection with a 'fix' of some aluminium foil wrapped around the terminal and the connection screwed back down.  I would stop, walk my son in and then come back to drive off.

 Most times the poor connection would not pass the starting current as I had only driven less than a mile so not much  charge gone in.  So I kept a hammer next to me in the car.  Out I would get and up with the bonnet and make a single hammer blow on the battery terminal, lock bonnet down and Hey Presto she would start.
I thought nothing of it until my wife retold the story some years later and said how I was much admired by the young mums looking on!  If only I had known!!!!!

 But my wife said I would have got big headed so had kept quiet.

Its knowing where to hit it.  And, for a true craftsman, how hard.

Because:

a. They (HMG) have made too many mistakes in the past so they are being super cautious.
b. Although infections and everything else are going down in the UK they are still afraid that a Covid variant will undo all the good work.
c. The situation in most of Europe is still pretty horrendous and we don't want it to b****r up the situation over here from people bringing variants back from holiday as what happened last Autumn.

Basically HMG are trading off foreign holidays against trying to get the UK back to something near normal from midsummer onwards. I suspect a lot of people will go along with this if it means thay can go into a pub, restaurant or shop without having to wear a mask.

I don't think the situation will really stabilise until everyone has had their second jab. (and maybe a booster against variants as well).

In the meantime we all live in hope.
