In 1986 I bought a grey pinstripe wool suit from M&S for an interview.
I still have it and it still fits and looks great.
So my shape is pretty much unchanged in 31 years..........
I broke down on the way to that interview. Not mentally, obviously, but I lost a cylinder on the long drag uphill to Woolley Edge services - M1 North towards Leeds.
So having had all the plugs out (A Series Metro), and trying to keep clean, I pressed on into Leeds on three.
After the interview, being an A series it started easily from cold on three, and got me home. Although it was sluggish uphill, it would touch 70 downhill........................
It turned out that a chunk of metal had come away from the exhaust valve.................................
I got the job.
