Good morning CDR.

I've just dropped my little Fiesta off at a local garage to get the door mirror fixed.

Joe's sister encountered a tractor in a narrow lane in the week and, correctly, pulled right against a hedge to let it pass. Unfortunately, there was a telegraph pole in the hedge that she couldn't see and it broke the mirror.

She was very upset, but a bit of broken plastic and glass isn't the end of the world, or that expensive to fix fortunately, and she and the rest of the car are fine. Better the mirror hit a pole than a tractor took the other side of the car off.

From what she said about her friends reaction - our friends in North America may not be able to picture the common or garden narrow UK country lane with lots of bends and high hedges or dry stone walls both sides and few passing places. We have a lot!

The U.S gave them billions after their earthquake. The corrupt government stole most of it and it never helped the people one bit.
A different plan is needed.
That's the trouble with that sort of corruption - and it puts people off making donations.
I think you're right Ed - money via Red Cross or other organised charities is the way.

Glad JoesSis is Ok. As you say - much better to take on a post than a tractor!
Definitely the lesser of two evils!
