Fell off a lorry, honest, Guv.
True dit. Many years ago, still single but engaged, was driving near Aylesbury with the then love of my life, a Ginetta kit car. Oh yes, and the then fiancee. (Later married her, then divorced....)
As we approached a roundabout, a largish flatbed truck came from the right and took the roundabout a bit fast. What looked like a sack of sand slid off and the truck simply drove on. I braked and swerved to avoid the sack, which could have damaged my GRP car. I drove on, whilst the fiancee bleated to stop and collect the sack - "It could come in useful in the new house...."
I explained that the car didn't have a proper boot, and even if we managed to slide it into the space behind the seats, how would she explain our ownership of it?
"Oh, it fell off the back of........." and then realised what she had been going to say. She never really forgave me for not collecting it, though.
