AMUSING TALE

By our Special Correspondent in Cleethorpes

Last Saturday our 2nd team are away at Bracebridge, in the Lincs Premier League. Dan Tolson (captain) is driving and Peter Thompson is following. We are only taking the two cars as they both have people carriers. Dan has a 'sat nav' so they tap in the postcode for Bracebridge and off they go.
As you know with 'sat nav' systems they tell you which way to go - and after about an hour's drive from Cleethorpes it says: "You have arrived at your destination!"
But the whole team, in two cars, are down a country lane in the middle of nowhere. So
Mike Shelton checks the league handbook and finally realises they have tapped in the postcode for the Bracebridge secretary, not the Bracebridge ground.
They actually arrive about 10 minutes before the scheduled start time.
Not a great start for the captain - but things go from bad to worse; he then gets a duck.
On the way home, Dan runs out of petrol about a mile from Morrisons, coming back into town, and the lads actually get a bus back to Cleethorpes, leaving him to walk to, and from, Morrisons by himself.
