I know I'm an old fuddy duddy and I don't move with the times and one of my old fashioned ideas that everyone laughs at is my insistence of a spare wheel in the car rather than a can of spray. Yesterday a former pupil who passed a couple of years ago called me asking, "Do you still insist on a spare wheel?" Apparently during their holiday, along with his wife and six month old baby they were stranded for over an hour on a deserted road in the Scottish Highlands. A rock had taken out the side of one tyre, the can of spray wasn't any use, they didn't have a signal on their phones and because of the baby were beginning to panic. Eventually a passing motorist rescued them. He called to tell me that as they go out into the middle of nowhere quite often, now back home he's decided to be as fuddy duddy as I and bought a spare wheel.
