Turns out I put the car in reverse and across the busy road we sailed, adults screaming and yelling after us, until the car came to a clunking stop in the ditch.

My parents car was parked on a slope while they were in the pub in full view of the enormous window where they sat. Their faces were priceless as it dawned on them that the car was within about half a minute of making contact with that window. Never seen my dad scramble so fast to get out that door …
