Not a car roof, but tonight I passed a man eating a takeaway in his car in a quiet residential street. What he didn't appear to see was the fox a few feet away on the opposite side of the road, lying in the shadow of a parked car, staring intently at his half-open window... I stood watching for a few minutes but it didn't move until some more people came down the street talking loudly. Think the guy had a close call there.
It's a FOX, Sue. Maitre Corbeau, sur un arbre perch?, tenait dans son bec un fromage. Maitre Renard, par l'odeur allech?, lui teint ? peu pr?s ce langage. You can guess the rest. Half a chance and it would have been in through the car window and out again with a string of sausages between its jaws.

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
