About time claims were on the slide

Two little vignettes in the life of a gormless hack. Many moons ago in the shallows of family life, my wife, the first infant, and I holidayed in Lanzarote. We hired a car. One day we were driving along looking for somewhere. These were the pre-Google Maps days.

Suddenly, I veered towards the centre of the road and tipped off a man who was riding past on small motorbike. He skidded, the bike lost balance, and he tumbled to the street.
