First a lady came over to say there was a problem with the water tank near
her plot, water was spraying up all over her, broken ball valve, so I turned
the water off again and have e-mailed the Council.

Next, a chap turns up that used to have a plot last year and asked who had
been tidying up his plot. I said the Council had rented it to someone new as
I understood from the Council the plot was vacant (my understanding was he
had been chucked off because his plot was hardly used and untidy). He
replied that he was paid up 'till the end of April etc, etc...... not a
happy bunny.
I Would not like to be in the shoes of the Council person tomorrow morning!!

Finally, noticed a sports car parked in the site, no-one else was around
nearby and none of two remaining plot holders knew who it belonged to and
both said that it had been there when they arrived, so phoned the local
Police just in case it was stolen before locking it in the site.

Drove past the site this afternoon and the car was gone. Later when I got
back home there was an answerphone message from the lady that originally
brought the car to my attention to say the owner, who, it turns out, is the
mother of a new plotholder, came back at about 5pm to collect it.

How terribly prosaic! I was hoping for something involving shadowy Asians,
MI-5, and perhaps Rumpole.
I've been watching too many British video imports...

Well we don't know why it was left parked there for most of the day and it
was quite a quick car. :-)
