The launch of my third motoring-related app was going to bring in £100,000. It enabled drivers to top up their parking meters remotely. The app’s success meant millions of pounds in parking fines were being lost by local authorities and I was enemy number one. Perhaps that was why they had relocated the 47 bus stop to the top of this mountain. I was never going to catch the bus.

I was in the drive in car wash when the business owner turned off the lights and locked me for the night. I had to bed down in the back seat while my ex best friend regaled me with stories about how she had talked all the way through the latest film. How selfish she was. Mark Kermode would be livid.

When the owner returned the next morning she laughed saying “you did that deliberately so you could spend the night with Andy Warhol’s The Finger“. What a ludicrous suggestion. The Finger was hanging in her office, pride of place above her desk.
