I started earlier but finished same time so brought him home as it was more or less on my way, just took a slightly longer route. this went on for about 6 weeks. He got his car back and that was that. fast forward a few weeks and there is a meeting in dublin we both have to go to, he offers to drive i accept delighted. Half way up he pulls in for fuel, i pop into shop get him a coke and one for myself, jump back into car and he goes "right i topped her up 25 is your share" I looked at him and laughed thinking a joke but no dead serious. I pointed out that I brought him home for weeks for free. he gets in a huff and says fine then we're even now. meeting ends at 4 and lo and behold fcuker leaves without me stranding me in dublin with no way home. Ended up gettin a taxi to bus station and having to wait an age to get bus home. When work found out my manager was shocked and said your man had got mileage for going up and all. he ended up cutting his mileage in half and giving me half (happy days as it was a nice bit)your man didnt speak to me again after that ever unles he absolutely had to.

They actually stood there when the horse won saying "ffs, I lost a tenner on that".
