Anything to distract us sheep from the economy. This ploy last activated back in 1981 ..

Here's my Princess Di story. I was once in the passenger seat of a car not far from Buck House back in 81/82 and she drove up right alongside in an immaculately clean (for London) Ford Escort Ghia, orange in colour (we were stuck at red lights). It was the cleanliness of the car that caused me to look - not realising initially who was driving it.
I have to say that in the flesh she looked absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous, with a lovely facial make-up job. The fact that I recognised her and started telling my colleague who was in the driving seat caused her to go bright red embarrased, step on the throttle and burn through the lights straight down Pall Mall. I guess the Highway Code didn't apply.
