Detective work..

Vin came in from doing his recycling on Friday night with a bus pass he had found in the road. it had a photo on it and a name, so he looked in the telephone directory for someone in the village with the name. No joy..he did get one name but their mobile was on answerphone!! typical. he left a message and the chap rang back and didn;t know anything about it. Next step was to ask the ladies in the shop but they didn't know anyone of that name either. So he put a card in the window. Then he noticed a phone number for the issuing authority on the back so he rang that this morning. The chap said he would contact them and lo and behold there was a phone call a short time later. Mystery solved. The reason noone knew them in our village was that they live in Thornton, and he was visiting the village for a walk with some friends. The photo on the train pass looks about 11 but the chap said the boy was 16 and 6ft tall!! i suppose they get a photo done in year seven then that stays. Anyway the travel pass was returned. long way round though. Vin has done all the shopping again this weekend, he went to Sainsburys on friday, morrisons yesterday and Waitrose today. he gets everything he's really good plus some other things we needed or he saw. He rang me up on Saturday morning to say that on his way out of the village there were loads of fire engines at a house on the roundabout..well near it. It appears that there was a fire in their roof space which had spread, and needed six fire engines. he said that today going past that it was a real nmess. Last night we had: Crustless cheese flan from Morrisons..very nice, some mushrooms and a small tin of pasta in tomato. tonight we are having: pizza with mushrooms pineapple and our tomato sauce egg and potato salad with avocado Potato salad and sweet noodle salad for Vin.
