    That's the most tenuous motoring link I've ever seen.

    Sounds like your dad was taken in by these sharks. Thank cod he didn't eat it. No need to carp on about it though.

    Did the driver have a grey beard? Was he wearing a blue jacket and hat? If so I might know who it is.

    I've seen this bloke before. If you want to report him to the police, he goes by the name of John Dory.
