13th February 25. A five train day

A one job day. But Aylesbury to Stoke on Trent today is a five train journey. Starting at Aylesbury going to Princess Risborough then waiting for the Birmingham Moor Street train which for some reason today I need to change at Leamington Spa

And swap for a train to Nuneaton and onward towards Stoke.

My stop at Princess Risborough was as usual around 7.00am where I messaged my old boss. Now at Renault regards to what actually happened a few nights ago with the deer. As I suspected, the story had taken on a life of it's own. I imagine going from the truth, a deer jumping out in front of the car and me hitting it at 25 MPH and nobody hurt and the deer running off. To me being drunk at the wheel, at four in the morning. Doing 120 miles per hour with three hooker's in the car.

Andy called me back almost immediately, I know he's an early starter. We discussed the accident and he was satisfied and knew, but wanted to hear it from me. That it wasn't the latter story. He was also happy to hear at some point, my proposal for RRG to supply logistics services to them. Good news.

Arriving in Stoke I grabbed an Uber to a big, but run down compound with huge old buildings, half used half not. Where a local northern dealer group disposes of its trade cars. And stores , possibly preps new ones.

They obviously sell all trade cars on the Dealer Auction platform. As I remember all their cars on thare and avoided like the plague. I know why now coming here. Looks like a site the Luftwaffe designed in the 40s.

I collected the 65 plate VW Tiguan and driving this high mileage car was actually very good. Car was still tight after 100k plus miles. Shame whoever owned it didn't look after if cosmetically. And it was filthy inside.

Lots of cleaning wipes made it drivable and I got it to it's destination just outside Aylesbury and found a bus home.
