Hi, Abit of a touchy subject to share on line but in light of the dark news about ,we could all do with a laugh.
My dad told me a story about his dad dating way back in time sometime in the sixty's (I can only presume)
My granddad enjoyed his drink back in his day (he's long gone now) and ended up getting banned for drink driving.
Undeterred though back in it's day, he continued to drive and got way with it through out the ban.
Whilst he was still banned, the family went on a caravanning holiday to Blackpool when it was still in it's heyday.
I vaguely remember him, but do remember when he was behind the wheel ,he was in charge of everything. He has the driver and the route and nobody questioned or challenged him.
Anyway whilst driving from Fleetwood to Blackpool where the road parallels along the Tramline he got lost looking for the campsite.
The story goes he managed somehow to end up driving along the Tramlines in-between the fenced off section after taking a turn off on to them ending up being confronted with an oncoming tram.
The police came along to sort the situation out and he ended up having to uncouple the caravan on the tram line and turn it round and then get the car round the tow it off.He did all this Infront of the police whilst his license was revoked..
Because of the lack of automatic checks back in it day and chaos it caused they drove off to the campsite "Scott free"
You must have some interesting stories to share like this fellow friends 👍
