Our man in distress had been picking mushrooms. And a generous lady had brought him back to his house leaving the car in the back and beyond. "Oh it t'was vey kind lark, but she shuddna werry coz im arnly an awl baldy gadgy , ney harm."
After the original distress he started to explain where he was. But it wasn't that easy.
He had been living in the area a long time and had only just found this farm track himself. After 10 minutes I thought i had it. I asked him if he would mind meeting the technician up there....
Only 30 minutes from Darlo
"Nee lad we'll make a dahy of it . Aye'll tahk a picnic liykh and we can hav a game of footy"
Very comic for a 70 yr awld gadge. Anyway I was a bit concerned we would find him so I asked the tech to go and pick him up from him house instead. And after arriving at the so called broken down vehicle it turns out that it wasn't broken down at all. He didn't know how to use the manual key in his electronic key fob and it would have started if he had use it.
As he said "It's a nice day for a trip up the moors like". And so it was for both of them.
After sending the tech into no-mans land (An Army firing range) I was curious to see this so called 'middle of nowhere'. Live local shows it is a bit barren up there. I don't know what the MOD are doing up ther but the land looks a little strange. Tank tracks maybe?, Not the best place to be picking mushrooms.
Mushrooms are not that expensive at Darligtons Morrisons Supermarket.

Perhaps the old gadgy was after mushrooms with a magical quality. That might explain why one would wander around on MOD land to find them. Perhaps he wasn't picking mushrooms at all but could have been "top-sighting".
Top Sighting?
Wats dat?
It's a bit like Cock fighting....but misheard on a prank phone call.
