You go into the Morrisons and buy some ice-cream, because you are a cheap-skate.

You take a southbound Island Line to Smallbrook Junction.

You cant help thinking this all looks a bit familiar.

You decide to head back towards Rye, where you board a 9 to Newport via Medina Leisure Centre, not via Staplers Corner! You alight the bus just before the leisure centre and walk to my Uncle's Post Box museum. I tell him you're coming to visit. He gives you a guided tour of the museum and his vast collection of postal bits and bobs, not to mention the hundreds of post boxes in his garden! You are both mentally and physically tired after this so he invites you in for tea and cake.

You upset the cup of tea all over the table. (This happened to a friend of mine whilst we were in a café in Ryde several years ago.)

You clean up say how stupid you were for doing such a silly thing and offer the pay for the table to be cleaned, it was a very rare table and the servicing would cost upwards of £200. You continue to listen to my Uncle's stories

After listening to his stories, you get the bus to Bembridge Airport. You board a Cessna 182 and ask to be flown to Norwich Airport. You take off, twenty minutes later you go to speak to the pilot, only to discover its being flown by James May. He takes you back to the Top Gear test centre, where he successfully lands the plane. Of course, Jeremy Clarkson is waiting for you...

** DOUBLE POST **

Jeremy Clarkson says he'll let you off if you go on the next Top Gear challenge, a race from Wick to Liverpool Street between public transport and Jezza driving the new BMW M5. You have been selected to be in the team taking public transport, you then make your way towards a nice B + B near Wick station for an early start...

One month of sleep has left you feeling rather deluded, particularly the last six days! You finally wake up watching the BBC news reporting of Clarkson's dismissal from the BBC's Top Gear, you head out to drown your sorrows at a local public house. You decide to take the train home as you're feeling rather tired (somehow!). You fall asleep at Rayners Lane station waiting for your Met service to leave Rayners Lane siding. In the process you miss the Heritage train heading back to Ruislip Depot. In your drunken/tired state you board a train. You wake up again, with a rather large headache, at Sidmouth Junction station...
