‘YUCK!’

Watch Yer Car Mister?

…

On football match days in Glasgow, it was the normal for motorists parking their cars near to the stadium, to be surrounded with a posse of young boys who immediately offered their services to the drivers, ‘Watch yer motor for you, mister? It doesn’t cost much.’

Each and every individual car owner would be offered their safeguard services.

The practice was, to agree to their request and give them some loose change from your pocket and promise them more on your return. This would make sure your car was safe, for the entire duration of the football match.

On this particular match day, a new Vauxhall Frontera jeep drove up and out got two well-dressed male occupants.

As usual, the posse descended on them, offering their services to the driver.

‘Watch yer motor for you mister?’ they asked.

‘No thanks, boys. No need for you – Rolex will watch it for me!’ the driver replied smugly, pointing to a large Alsatian dog, sitting in the rear of the jeep, which began barking ferociously and baring its teeth at the young boys present. ‘He’s a watchdog!’

Both males then walked off hooting with laughter.

Two hours later, you can picture the look of horror on their faces when they returned to find their Frontera jeep, sitting up on concrete bricks with Rolex still inside, but minus four expensive alloy wheels.

Under the front windscreen wiper, there was a note which read,

Ye’re right, mister, it is a watchdug. It watched us while we blagged yer wheels, ya big diddy!’
