   I once watched, gobsmacked, as a friend's wife reversed a 22 ft van through a 12ft gap in a row of vehicles and parked it in the row behind but two vehicles along, in one perfect S shaped manouvre. She got out and, seeing the look on my face, smiled sweetly, and said "don't forget Pete, I've been reversing trailers on dad's farm since I was about ten".  There's a lot of truth in the old saying "Practice makes perfect".

      Pete.

Better still leave the wife indoors and buy a mover, saves all that hassle


Can see movers replacing wife's altogether. I'm now teaching mine to bring me beer when im cooking the bbq. but they still havent got the hang of which side of the bed they should be on as theyre forever turning this way n that!
