20 11 2004 [ my birthday ]
My girlfriend and I (both 28) decided to re-live our student days and have rehomed a road cone. It looked so lonely in its Covent Garden home that in our alcohol fueled state we escorted it the 29.7 miles home by tube, train and on foot. Coming downstairs the next morning i couldn't help but smile.
Cone is now very happy performing parking space guarding in the Surrey area and can be booked for your function on (01483) ....
