Being a postie I'm out and about, meeting some of the various colourful characters this country has produced.
Here (almost verbatium) is the conversation I had today.
To make it simple I shall refer to the gentleman in question, as Nutter.
Nutter - I'm 1/2 way through my 66th year.
Me - Cool, you're looking good for it. (He didn't he looked like Compo)
Nutter - (pointing to a very old Toyota Supra) that's my 230mph racing sports car.
Me - Nice.
Nutter - I used to race Formula 3.
Me - Cool
Nutter - Yes I used to race Michael Schmacher
Me - Wow
Nutter - I was the only person to ever beat him.
Me - Were you?
Nutter - Oh yes, he always says, when we meet, 'you were the only person to ever take a win, from me'.
Me - You still see him then?
Nutter - Oh yes he sends me tickets to every European Grand Prix. I just jump on the underground, am I'm there.
Me - Well that's nice.
Nutter - Yes that's why I'm not here very often.
Me - Is it really?, anyway must dash, work to do, and all that, bye.
I could have talked all day.
It just goes to show how much fun you can have chatting to an old guy wearing a black bobble ski hat.
